Relationships: You Attract What You Believe You Deserve

Some Individuals wonder why they attract the same kind of person into their lives and when it is an unhealthy and/or dysfunctional relationship; they don’t understand why this keeps happening to them.

It is because we attract the kind of people in our lives that we project out to them that we deserve.

If you place value on yourself and demonstrate self-love and self-respect, then you are going to attract people in your life who will look at you in the same manner and thus, treat you the way that you demand. Further, you will also be letting everyone know that you come in contact with that you are valuable and worthy of being treated with respect when you treat yourself this way.

People may mistreat you but they can only continue to do this if you allow it.

One of the main reasons that individuals stay in relationships that are unhealthy is because they don’t believe that they deserve any better. They may have low self-esteem and self-worth.

Decide that you are going to live your life by loving yourself and implementing self-respect and this will project to others to look at you in the same fashion.

When someone does not treat you with respect, it usually is not because of anything to do with you but something in them as to why. Sometimes, other people are just not in a place in their lives in which they are capable of treating others appropriately. This is not a reflection on you.

When you grow in self- love and self-respect, you will be able to be emotionally strong enough to walk away from people like this. At least, build an appropriate boundary line with them.    

YOU ARE WORTHY AND VALUABLE and remember - that if someone does not see this or treat you as such, it DOES NOT DECREASE YOUR VALUE!

You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you. Song of Solomon 4:7

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:13-14
