Life Lesson 21: If It Doesn’t Make You Better, It Isn’t Love
It really is the ultimate acid-test for love.
“The best love is one that makes you a better person, without changing
you into someone other than yourself.”

Sure the sex is off-the-charts (like nothing you’ve experienced before).
Yes, her body is indeed an intoxicating sight.
Absolutely she has a beautiful home and hefty 401k to boot.
But if everything about your relationship with her doesn’t make you better (meaning a better person), it isn’t love.
It’s just sex.
It’s just good DNA.
It’s just material possessions and money.
True love makes you more of who you are, not less.
So if you’re feeling less than yourself, feeling less confident, less kind or less anything, and not feeling better, it is not love.
A lesson that’s taken me close to six decades to learn.
Better late than never.
