Loneliness is not what it seems.
One does not feel lonely because one is alone,
but because of a feeling of lack -
a feeling that something is missing.
Loneliness is essentially independent
of how many other humans are around.
It has much more to do with one's self-esteem -
one's sense of inherent worth.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
While it is natural to feel some degree of
need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to
take actions that others disapprove of,
you have lost control of your own life
and have given your destiny to others.
An excessive need-for-approval
is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens,
you can never regain their respect and esteem.
It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time;
you can even fool some of the people all of the time;
but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.
Whether it be true or not, I can say for one

by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.
- Abraham Lincoln
A working definition of Honor is,
"respect or esteem that has been earned."
Contemplate that for a moment.
It would be very special to earn the respect and esteem
of our family, our friends, our co-workers, our community, wouldn't it?
If anything, it is of even more moment to honor yourself.
Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

most frequently is in middle age,

which are at morning and evening so large,
almost entirely disappear at midday.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Truly great friends are hard to find,

It hurts to love someone
and not be loved in return,

someone and never find the courage
to let that person know how you feel.
- Anonymous
When one gets angry, it is always angry AT someone -
perhaps a friend or spouse, perhaps a stranger,
perhaps the nameless "they" - "those people at the bank wronged me,"
perhaps God, or perhaps oneself.
In any case, when one gets angry,
they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
It's so easy to fall in love
but hard to find someone who will catch you.

When your whole family is loving and supportive, it is a great blessing.
But when family members are indifferent or hostile, release your expectations,

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
When we find someone whose weirdness

we join up with them and fall into
mutually satisfying weirdness -

And once you find laughter,
no matter how painful your situation might be,
you can survive it.

seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.

I live to experience something new each day -
to learn something new,
meet a new friend,
bring joy into someone's life,
feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.
- Lewis Carroll
Once you have seen the truth
you must make the decision to let go
of the pain, anger, and resentment you have been holding on to.
This requires you to take action.
If you are attached to your pain, resentment,
and self-righteousness, and addicted to your emotional reactions,
this will be a difficult step for you.
Taking action requires letting go of the very thing
you have been holding on to for so many years.
There is comfort in what we find familiar,
even if we are experiencing pain and suffering.
The pain and suffering itself becomes the familiarity we seek.
It takes absolute faith in yourself
plus courage, will, and discipline to let go.
But once you let go, it will be as if
the weight of the world has been taken off your shoulders.
In this process it is important to forgive
not just the others in our lives, but also ourselves.
For most people, giving ourselves
the gift of forgiveness is very challenging.
- Sheri Rosenthal
If you are walking to seek, ye shall find.
- Sommeil Liberosensa

What old people say you cannot do,

Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.

To succeed, you need to find
something to hold on to,
something to motivate you,
something to inspire you.

If you look into your own heart,
and you find nothing wrong there,

What is there to fear?

expecting to find it, you surely will.

someone who is happy for you.

Find your song and sing it out.

The answers that you are content to not know.

we are attracted to the other person because

If we don't feel appreciated, we don't feel loved.
