When we are feeling unloved and depressed and empty inside, finding someone to give us love is not really the solution.
--Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D.

Each of us wants to be significant to someone else. And we are - we're significant to all the lives we're touching at this very moment.

The emptiness we sometimes feel is a good reminder that the women and men in our lives need our attention. Too much self-focus fosters our feelings of loneliness, and then with desperation we look to others to fill us up. The paradox is that we heal ourselves while offering our attention to another who is, by design, on our path.

It is not by chance our lives are intertwined. Loving someone today will heal two wounds, ours and theirs.

T/Y once again HJ. How did you get so wise? I have learned
to love Linda. Took me a long time to get to this point.
Had a great husband who helped me reach that goal. When
he left me(died) I had so much anger built up. Did not
want to live another day (the cowards way of dealing with
my pain). Seeing the love pouring from my young grand-
babies and His divine love kept me going. I have a lot of
love that I give to all those I come in contact with and
expect nothing in return, but perhaps a smile.

Some lady, Dusty I think, posted it in another thread. I learn from reading, doing some daily meditation (the answers will always come if I ask for them), and the biggie in my life, listening to others.

There is a man named Charlie that lives across the valley in Scottsdale. Charlie has been a mentor of sorts for over 17 years now, he is the main one of several. He is now 90 years old. He and Marie have been married as long as I have been alive, and that is a long time.

My anger, resentment, and controlling ways never got me anyplace I truly wanted to be. I had to learn one thing for sure, do I want to be happy, or do I want to be right?
