The greatest gift you can give yourself, is to be yourself in the very best, most ‘self’ expressing way, at each moment. As you strive on a constant basis to be your best ‘self’ at each moment, it gets easier, and you appreciate your own qualities and achievements so much more. You connect to life and become much more aware through all five senses of what is going on around you, as if tuning the ‘tone and ‘bass’ when listening to a piece of music. This will also increase your self confidence.
If you love someone, you will also be bringing them yourself as a better human, as you work through love to improve, you will be better at understanding and communicating, and the quality of your relationship will improve.
