The Formula
We all talk about the Love we want. Not so much about the Love we have to give. We ask God to send us things. Rarely, to prepare us to receive and appreciate them. I've learned that wanting is the nemesis of happiness, and I strive to be grateful more than anything else. I've "lost" a lot, and found parts of myself that would've gone unnoticed otherwise. Meeting people where they are means knowing where I am as well...some of our paths will not intersect, or even meant to.
I say all that to say....Give more, want less, expect nothing. Peace
