Who you are is always enough. If your partner wants something different, it does not reflect upon you, but upon their needs and fantasies.

All experiences are welcomed and fully digested, not judged good or bad.

The sense that my world is stable and stationary, that change will never come and that all will go on continuously as it is, is the nature of all delusion.

We are what we think about. When we stay fixed on one person, thought or situation, we get caught in the grip of self-centered thoughts. The more we give attention to that which is upsetting, the more strength it has to rule our lives.

Consider for a moment what you pay attention to all day long. What seems important to you, what do you take for granted and hardly attend to at all? Write it down. Do not judge your answers. Be honest and simple. As you keep track all week long, you'll be amazed at what claims your attention, what you give your precious life force to.

If one's sense of self is obtained through the eyes of another it is always subject to being lost.

We turn pain into suffering by adding on all kinds of beliefs, interpretations and judgments to it.
