You’ll never find fulfillment through someone else

It’s never going to work, you know. I say this lovingly, but if you’re looking for fulfillment through a love affair with someone other than YOU, then it’s just not going to work. Ever.

Don’t get me wrong, good relationships are really important! They’re just not everything.

What do YOU love to do? What do YOU want to experience in this lifetime? What brings YOU joy? What do YOU want to do before you die… besides just fall in love?

Falling in love can be exhilarating, but even the best love affair is going to be flawed eventually, and what you’re looking for in that person will never make up for everything that you haven’t yet developed in yourself.

Look inside yourself. Look more closely. Dig deeper.
