Every day I work at being the best friend to myself that I can be. It is hard as I tend to externalize myself by helping others. The premise is that I should ensure that I am the best friend to myself. My self-esteem is the best it can be because of myself, not because of external forces. It's a tough challenge to be sure. However, I HAVE to do it for me to be healthy emotionally.
It boils down to this. Being your best friend means, nobody can make you feel better about yourself than you. Anytime you meet anyone, whether it's dating, friendships, lovers, or spouses, you have set that bar for yourself. You know you are protected. You know you are NOT alone.
This is a work in progress and hard for me. However, for my survival and for me to achieve my dreams this is essential. There is no way around it. I have to draw that line in the sand and do this. Wish me luck.
