For most people, love is a response to need fulfillment. Everyone has needs. You need this, another needs that. You both see in each other a chance for need fulfillment. So you agree-tacitly-to a trade. I'll trade you what I've got if you'll give me what you've got. It's a transaction. But you don't tell the truth about it. You don't say, "I trade you very much." You say, "I love you very much," and then the disappointment begins.
Neale Donald WalschI grant you that frustration is a very mild form of fear, yet it is fear nonetheless.
Neale Donald WalschWhen you do not require a person to show up as you imagine you need them to be, then you can drop expectation. Then you love them exactly as they are. Yet this can only happen when you love your Self exactly as you are
Neale Donald WalschA life lived of choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived of chance is a life of unconscious creation.
