Yet, know this if you understand nothing else: You have a right to your joy; children or no children; spouse or no spouse. Seek it! Find it!

The soul speaks to you in feelings. Listen... follow [and] honour your feelings.

Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow.

If you think love is what you are, you will go sharing it all over the place. The second approach will cause you to find what the searching will never reveal.
