Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.

is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.

keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
