"What is the one thing your therapist told you that changed your life?

As I entered my 30s era, I began to take therapy more seriously. Recently, my therapist told me, 'You can't earn someone's love. It is either given or not.' This really struck me because growing up I was taught that love is only about sacrifice. Now, I'm working on changing my perspective on love and relationships.

Is there a phrase or lesson your therapist shared with you that changed your perspective on life?
