Once you recognize just how good you are, you won't have to have others reinforce your value or values by making their behavior conform to your dictates. If you're secure in yourself, you neither want nor need others to be like you. For one thing, you're unique. For another, that would rob them of their own uniqueness, and what you love in them are just those traits that make them special and separate. It begins to fit. You get good at loving yourself, and suddenly you're able to love others, to give to others, and do for others by giving and doing for yourself first. Then there are no gimmicks to your giving. You're not doing it for the thanks or the payoffs but because of the genuine pleasure you get from being a helper or a lover.
