How to protect emotional independence with 25 powerful phrases

We must learn to enjoy ourselves, alone and in company, and prevent our happiness from depending on others. The only love that can be imposed is self-love. We have to short our insecurities, preventing ourselves from being enslaved, choosing to be masters of ourselves and directing our lives.

Love and dependence are at odds, if they coexist they are destroyed. If this happens, even if the relationship remains, love will darken and become subject to dependency.

We can love and even adore our partner but, at the same time, we have to maintain good self-esteem where we can continue cultivating personal growth, a place in which our maturation reaches its peak.

It is complicated to understand and integrate but You should not confuse love with falling in love. In love there is no anguish or butterflies or total surrender. Love is not drowning, it is not submission, it is not sacrifice.

Love is calm and non-obsessive, love is moderate, love is reason, desire, friendship, care and balance. In love there is no fear and that is why the change is worth it. Below we present 25 phrases that remind us of the importance of protecting our emotional independence:
