61 " My job, my only job here in this moment, is to love myself and, by extension, to love others. My job is just to live and to realize that to live is to love. "
― Vironika Tugaleva , The Love Mindset
62 " The search for the soul mate, the perfect partner to complete you, is a bit like searching for the perfect food when you’ve got a giant ulcer in your stomach. No matter what you find, it will never be good enough. "
63 " We have a love-shaped hole within us. "
64 " No matter how much you cry, the tears will dry. No matter how many nightmares, flashbacks, visions, or terrors you endure, they will pass. To weather these in order to find your true self and the happiness you deserve, that is not a risk. To waste the time you have in this body, never showing your soul to yourself or anyone else, living in fearful misery – that is really the most dangerous thing you can do. "
65 " Perhaps the most liberating moment in my life was when I realized that my self-loathing was not a product of my inadequacy but, rather, a product of my thoughts. "
66 " A healer is someone who seeks to be the light that she wishes she had in her darkest moments. "
67 " The less people know, the more they talk. The less people understand, the more they try to explain. "
68 " Thoughts of harmony allow experiences of harmony. "
69 " It is not until you learn to look at yourself, through the truth of who you are, that you can look at someone else. "
70 " Of course, being open and vulnerable will lead us to, sometimes, experience pain. But what is pain? It is simply a feeling. It is not forever. If you get pain from some person or thing too many times, you can always walk away. To risk a lifetime without pleasure simply to avoid pain is ludicrous. "
71 " Whether something is wonderful or horrible, the most harmful thought we can think is “Will this last forever? "
72 " The ultimate barrier against love is the barrier of the constructed self. "
73 " Looking with eyes of love is about not only looking, but seeing. "
74 " Love is not the opposite of power. Love IS power. Love is the strongest power there is. "
75 " The desire to be loved, to feel loved, is behind every diet, pill, surgery, and lie. It is behind each act of violence and every affair as well as each organized religion and every method of self-help. "
76 " Fear becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Thinking that there is something to be avoided manifests something to avoid. "
77 " We sacrifice our potential because we do not know that we are pure potential. "
78 " If the most connected we’ve ever felt with another person was in that brief moment of apology and regret after physical abuse, then we’ll seek that abuse for the rest of our lives. "
79 " Our culture has bred consumers and addicts. We eat too much, buy too much, and want too much. We set ourselves on the fruitless mission of filling the gaping hole within us with material things. Blindly, we consume more and more, believing we are hungry for more food, status, or money, yet really we are hungry for connection. "
80 " World peace is really inner peace within each individual mind. "
