Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other
but in looking outward together in the same direction.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939,
translated from French by Lewis Galantière
When you speak of the people you care about do you speak of the journey you are taking together? Think of the journey of relationships like cars on the road. Get too fixated on the interior beauty instead of the road and you will, either, never go anywhere or you will surely crash. The purpose of the car is not the design, it is to help you on your journey. Interiors will fade and paint will chip but take care of the car and keep it moving and it will run for a long long time. Relationships are the same. You might get a little grey and add a few wrinkles but if you work together on your journey, your relationship will last a long long time.
AFFIRMATION - say: "I will work with my love ones to build a future,
for there lies the fulfillment."
