The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.

Hi Cate
I loved the quote, it expressed a lot that I have tried to learn and remember over the years.
All the best.
Guy
It speaks to me of meeting and loving
people where they are... And, knowing
that we *are* this love that we are
looking for - recognizing it within
ourselves...
And what an exquisite photo!!!
Beautiful picture and wise words.
Thank you,
That's wonderful. I will share that quote other places
That sums it up quite nicely.
Love Neil. Love, love, love!
