Short spoken excerpt from a YouTube monologue by Elay Amitay Halevi advising listeners to live an authentic, self-directed life and cultivate a personal relationship with the Creator. The speaker argues that trying to change oneself to make someone else like you fails; instead, change yourself for the Creator—become like the Creator—and your partner will benefit from the resulting 'halo effect.'
If you want a man or a woman to be attracted to you in a relationship, you have to live your own life and be your own light. And if you live a life even remotely to get them to like you to that extent, they don't like you. But if you do it for yourself, between you and the creator, and you say to the creator, creator, I want to be a wonderful boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse. And the creator says, well, let me tell you something. What you should do is become like me. That's the greatest gift you can give to her, the greatest gift you can give to him. And you say, okay, Creator, just to be clear, I'm not doing it for them. I'm doing it for you, to be like you, to be with you. And they will benefit from the halo effect of the greatness that I reveal.
