When you open up to others, you are giving a gift to yourself and to them.

Your relationships give you strength. By sharing your thoughts and feelings with others, you actually build and strengthen your self esteem.

Yes, there are times when you are scared to allow others to see the true you ... so you assume a "character", a role. Maybe you feel protective of your hidden passions or your unconventional thoughts, so you worry that you may not be accepted. But please understand that this is a normal feeling, and you can bravely move past these concerns.

Trusting other people means that you have to share yourself with them. If you want to build character and strengthen your relationships, you have to have the courage to honestly invite others into your life.

True fulfillment comes from becoming connected to others and your inner being. Each part of you that you share is like a link - like in a chain, connecting you to the other person.

When others are in need, they know that you are there to help. Because you have given freely of your true self, they know they can reach out and trust you.

Here's the other thing that happens ... by sharing more of yourself, you invite others to open themselves up. So now you begin to feel connected to the people in your life as you start to see them for who they truly are. It is such a reward to feel bonded to good people.

Your inner knowledge is deepened and your relationships are strengthened when you know that you are more than the games you used to play and the "characters" you portrayed. You are ... YOU.

Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Do you bravely share your true self with
others?

2. How can you strengthen the
relationships with the people in your life?

3. What do you love most about your close
personal relationships?

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one'.”
~ C. S. Lewis

“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
~ Tom Robbins
