When you become a genuine and dynamic person, you attract people who are also of that caliber. You see the light in yourself, and the light shining in others is clearly visible to you. You can participate in relationships that are based upon mutual respect, filled with delight in one another, and free of disparagement.
You accept and respect both yourself and your partner, and you enter relationships wth people who are self-loving and respecting, and who, therefore, have the ability to love and respect you as you are.
Bear in mind, though, that self-acceptance is based upon patience with yourself. As we said, becoming your ideal self is an evolutionary process. That means it doesn't happen overnight. One step leads to the next. Some small thing changes, and it incites something else inside you to change. That next change incites another and onward it goes and upward, one step at a time.
