8 Rules of Love

The book has much details about how to define love, how to keep love, how to give and receive love and how to let go. But my personal take away from the book is an affirmation that in order to love and be loved, we need to start from within. We need to start by loving ourselves and be comfortable in our own skin. I enjoyed his discussion about expanding love. 

I like how he focused on loving ourselves in solitude. Right now I’m feeling loneliness and grateful I was reading this book. Solitude and loneliness it’s differest, it means “Your solitude it’s not your partner, friend, family member, etc job to provide for you the love, comfort, support, etc etc that you want/need. It's your job to do it for yourself. If you can't do it yourself, how do expect that from others?
If you get this from outside, then thats a lovely bonus to what you do for yourself”. Refers to “don't depend on others, you have to be able to stand on your own feet. you are worthy, you can do it yourself (even if the world is cruel, you deserve being loved)”

I’m in a relationship and sometimes it help me to expanding more knowledge about love in my relationship and sometimes it’s too depends. Just focus what happen to your relationship, we all have our solution itself to deal with it.
