bodleing: "What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be."
Ellen Burstyn:
Loneliness is an indicator of important needs that are going unmet. But being on your own doesn't necessarily mean your needs aren't being met. Indeed, it may be the best way to fulfill your needs for tranquility, independence, time to think, space and freedom.

Hi Bodleing..
Gosh, so true...
but I would like to add... if you fulfil your need for tranquillity, independence, think time, space and freedom,
I think what then happens is... you become friends with yourself.. and when that occurs,
you are not lonely, but then find the time and need to want someone in your life..
I don't mean just work colleagues, I mean, true friends..
because in the happy state that you learn to be in, there is a settled feeling, and it brings about a gentle calm that others seek,
therefore, you attract many more friends, from different walks of life... and because you are so settled and calm and happy inside,
you can accept just about anything, and anyone, because you know that nothing and nobody will unsettle you...no matter what.. you
can easily stay on your happy path, even with interruptions..

Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. unknown
hardly inspirational - more of a truism

Indeed...to truly become friends with, and love yourself is perhaps the hardest task, but without that we can never really love others.

"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about".
Ack. Albert Einstein
I know its true for me, I am at my most happiest when there is something to feel enthusiastic about!
Like a trip to Italy perhaps....?

"The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. Beautiful people do not just happen."
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross:
Beautiful because having suffered themselves, they have learned humility and courage, and can now feel for others in like predicaments, Life's inevitable disappointments, broken hearts and lost dreams will, if you allow them, make you bitter, resentful and angry. Or you may learn from your experiences in such a way that you grow more forgiving, grateful, wise, compassionate and happy.

""Think about any attachments that are depleting your emotional reserves. Consider letting them go."
Oprah Winfrey:
Attachment to an outcome that just isn't happening, maybe can't possibly happen, is very stressful. That can lead you through the chain of emotional states, though anger, fear and grief, to apathy where you just give up. The alternative is acceptance, where you play and enjoy the game, so to speak, but are not painfully attached to the outcome.
