There's only what you choose, and how you can have it. If you choose peace and joy and love, you won't get much of it through what you're doing. If you choose happiness and contentment, you'll find little of that on the path of doingness. If you choose reunion with God, supreme knowing, deep understanding, endless compassion, total awareness, absolute fulfillment, you won't achieve much of that out of what you're doing.

The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.

Do what you do for the sheer joy of it, Do what you choose,not what someone else chooses for you.
