How To Attract Healthy and Fulfilling Relationships

The struggle to attract a healthy, ultimately fulfilling relationship is one we have all come up against at some point in our lives. Most people don't realize that it all comes down connecting with love. But not love for someone else as is assumed when speaking about relationships.

The essence of a loving relationship is the ability to love you first. Your own self-esteem is the key. Without this you can't build the foundation necessary to connect with another individual on more than a physical level. When you don't love yourself, you become a magnet for individuals who feel the same way about themselves. Law of attraction guarantees us this.

Another way unhealthy relationships begin is when we try to fill our own "void" - the emptiness that the inability to love ourselves leaves us with - with the feeling of being "loved" from someone else.

We expect that their love is enough. We feel that our new partner's feelings for us will fill the void. It won't. No matter how hard you try, that "void" will always come back to haunt you. So, how do you begin to even tackle an issue as large as life as not being able to love yourself? Awesome question.

First you need to figure out the first instance in your life when you felt you could not, or would not love yourself. Follow that up with other moments in time you felt that same way. If it was a result of someone else's actions, behaviours, or words towards you - realize these two truths of human nature:

• People make the best choices available to them in the moment 

• Every behaviour has a positive intention.

Second, you need to understand that it was no ones intention to make you feel un-lovable. Their actions, behaviours, and/or words were for them, not you.

What I mean is that they said or did those things to you because it gave them something they needed. They needed to feel power. They needed to belittle you to feel better about themselves. Sad, I know. But those people were acting on behalf of their own dysfunctional psychology. It had nothing to do with who you are as a person, and everything to do with who they were.

How, then, do we attract a healthy relationship? By loving ourselves first. The minute you begin to love yourself it will not only help you throughout your life and all of the challenges this life will entail, but you put love out into the universe. It can't help but reciprocate. I know it sounds easier than it is. I hear you. We go through so many experiences in our lives that the walls around our hearts seem impossible to breach.

I would encourage you to do things that will allow you to connect with your true self again - meditation, start a journal, start a hobby, exercising, hiring a life coach, etc... With some faith and time, you will love yourself again - and a whole new world of love will open up - and smile.

Nigerian Comedian, Basketmouth writes on issues in Nigeria

He shared the message below on his Instagram page: As I am learning to stop complaining and get used to the electricity situation in my beloved Nigeria, i can't help but worry about other bigger problems facing my country at large. Once again a land already polluted with blood and oil is reported to be witnessing beheading by religious fanatics, murders by herdsmen, and bombing of oil pipelines by a supposedly impoverished and marginalised deltan posse, let's not talk about the Biafran agitators, kidnapping and robberies....confusion everywhere. I am an entertainer so i try to leave politics for politicians(cos i believe everybody should maintain dia own lane). However, I cant seem to understand why my beloved country will not intervene to help alleviate the sufferings and helplessness of its people. When the poor cry for help and are ignored, it can be a recipe for turmoil and when the rich also cry, can't afford to travel because flight tickets are out of their r

Andre 3000 shares photo of himself with his teen son

Seven Sirius Benjamin is the son of Outcast member Andre 3000 and First Son Erykah Badu. He was born in 1997. His parents dated between 1995 to 1999.  Badu’s story of meeting André is slightly muddled. “It was 1997,” she said during a Red Bull Music Academy talk in 2013. “My single came out Februrary 7th—‘On and On.’ I heard it in New York in a club and met André that night. No, that’s a year before. Let me back up. Two years earlier I met André at the club and they played the song ‘On and On.’ Two years later, Februrary 7th, ‘On and On’ came out on the radio. February 11th, I got pregnant.”
