When we sit, we open our own treasure house. Rather than do this, however, most of us first seek to find the treasures another person can provide. We calculate their value to us. When we approach relationships in this manner, we are coming as beggars, seeing the other as a source of supply. When we can enter a relationship with our treasure house already open, there is no end to the wonders we can find, both within and between ourselves and another.

In a relationship if you are giving and getting nothing back in return, stop giving so much, and spend time being. Give to yourself, be who you are.

What we pay attention to expands. What we pay attention to we become.

Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.

All the insight we will ever need to live well will come from fully being who and where we are.

We create a mask to meet the masks of others. Then we wonder why we cannot love, and why we feel so alone.
