Know Who You Are | Trent Shelton

About this video

Shelton explains why he believes most relationships fail, focusing on two main issues. First, he argues that many people enter relationships without knowing who they are, which leads them to lose themselves and accept less than they deserve. Second, he contends that selfishness destroys relationships when people focus only on what they’re receiving rather than what they’re giving, and when they constantly criticize their partner instead of building them up.
