Suffering is you pressing up against a block that stands between where you are and what you want to be.

“Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it.” ― Gautama Buddha

It is so nauseatingly easy to get caught up – lost, even – in the little minutiae of dating. So easy, in fact, you can forget that a missed call or cancelled date or dissolution of a two-week-old fling isn’t the end of the damn world.

Extraordinary people are just that – rare. Recognizing this doesn’t mean you’re giving up on your potential, it means you’re dissolving the illusions you have about what it means to be your whole self and live your best life.

It’s not that we don’t see the value in dating for fun, but that we don’t really want to waste too much time if the relationship isn’t going anywhere.

You cannot convince someone to love you if they don’t.

You’re starting to focus on the love you can give, not the love you can get.

For never having to decode his messages.

The only way to extraordinary is what I do with the ordinary.

Living with less makes you finally feel like you have enough.

The best way to fall in love is when you aren’t trying to.

1. She’s not necessarily insecure. Worrying about whether or not she’s loved isn’t always a product of low self-esteem, it’s also what happens when you acknowledge the reality that love does not always last, and often unexpectedly so. 2.

Selfishness is only considering your own needs. Self-love is knowing your needs need to be met before you can truly care for other people’s.

I know now that being afraid of things going wrong is not the way to make them go right. Releasing that fear is knowing there’s no “right” way for things to go.

The ideal job you’re still waiting for.

They ask the same questions they did when they were first getting to know one another.

You stop talking about people, and start talking about goals, ideas and plans.

You begin to realize how few people you actually like.
