“Live your life from your heart. Share from your heart, and your story will touch and heal people's souls.” Melody Beattie, author of Codependent No More, wrote that, and it’s so true.

You might find these words strange coming from an expert on codependence, but I really must point out the semantics. Please note she said, “Share from your heart…” She did not say, “Love more than you love yourself”, nor did she say, “Give 100% of your love” and she didn’t say, “you have to give 50/50 to make any relationship work”.

No, Melody Beattie said, “Share from your heart...” That mean you are open with your love. If you give 100% of yourself what do you have left for yourself? And when you have nothing else to give what happens then? I’ve seen the results when that happens and it’s not pretty. To be honest, I’ve lived that part.
