DBP Conclusion

Don't Bet On the Prince by Dr. Gilda Carle
Conclusion
Gilda-Gram: if he’s mine, I can’t lose him. If he’s not, I don’t want him.
The trouble is that most of us resist betting solely on ourselves. People need to realize that no on can make us happy but them selves. We feel unworthy, incapable, uncertain of our assets as they stand alone. Unable to speak our minds for fear of being disliked. To be liked we only count everyone’s needs before our own. Thereby teaching people to walk all over us. Or we become demanding in order to get our discarded needs, miss using our power.
Real Power is not controlling power; it is a balance from within.
Leave people that have hurt you and don’t hang on in hopes they’ll change.
Know who you are, communicate it, and then you are ready to receive what you believe you deserve.
Love is not supposed to hurt. Get up and get out!
When you bet on yourself, you life is wonderful. Love the person you are, and you are awesome. Enjoy!

*In this last conclusion she talked about it like talking to females, but I wanted this to go for both male and female since it can be true for both. In order to get love, respect, trust from someone you must first give it to yourself. I never expected my men to really change who they were, their habits yes, but the biggest reason I held onto them was because I believed they were better than that, but time and time again they proved they weren’t the better person they said they were. So actions do speak louder than words. Don’t blame anyone or anything; blame and praise is the same thing. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, if they don’t like who you are then they are not meant for you. A relationship built on lies will fail. I have learned and I have grown and I have changed for the better because I did it for me and me alone. I am happy where I am and what I have.
Woot! I'm finally done with the book. I'm going to miss the smell.
