It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.

Wanting others to love you, you give away your heart. Wanting others to see you, you give away your eyes.

Once you have found yourself and accepted your aloneness, then the greatest blessing is to share the love that arises within you. Each new moment presents the richest opportunity to be loving. And you can share love in the simplest of ways. Be soft and gentle. Be caring and kind. Be loving in an ordinary way, without any sense of wanting anything back, Life offers you the most precious gift. The gift of allowing you to be present and share love.

The underlying motivation that drives all addiction is our insistence on avoiding pain. However, the pain you are avoiding is based in the past, and has nothing to do with the present moment.

The fact that we are aware of ourselves is both our greatest curse and also our greatest blessing.
