The World Motivation
To love is to recognize yourself in another.
“Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?”
“Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.”
“Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.”
“It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.”
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you will ever have.”
“Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it.”
“Don't ever think I fell for you, or fell over you. I didn't fall in love, I rose in it.”
“I remember Peyton [Manning] called me as soon as I got out to Denver. He started the conversation by asking me, ‘When did you get in?’ We mainly just talked to get familiar with each other.”
“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
“A celestial wizard doesn’t destroy celestial bodies. She bends them.”
“My whole life has been pledged to this meeting with you...”
“Usually adult males who are unable to make emotional connections with the women they choose to be intimate with are frozen in time, unable to allow themselves to love for fear that the loved one will abandon them. If the first woman they passionately loved, the mother, was not true to her bond of love, then how can they trust that their partner will be true to love. Often in their adult relationships these men act out again and again to test their partner's love. While the rejected adolescent boy imagines that he can no longer receive his mother's love because he is not worthy, as a grown man he may act out in ways that are unworthy and yet demand of the woman in his life that she offer him unconditional love. This testing does not heal the wound of the past, it merely reenacts it, for ultimately the woman will become weary of being tested and end the relationship, thus reenacting the abandonment. This drama confirms for many men that they cannot put their trust in love. They decide that it is better to put their faith in being powerful, in being dominant.”
