To Be Happy, Give to Others - In Divine Friendship (Class 18)

When we suffer repeatedly in the same way, we must ask not what we wish would change in the world, but what we must change in ourselves. Love is what we all want and need, yet so few of us feel we have it. Rather than perpetually blaming the world and others for our seeming lack, what can we change within ourselves to attract true and lasting love? We must learn to give to others, give our love freely and first, without first demanding that they give to us. Thinking of others, and giving to others, is one of the surest paths to fulfilment, whereas insecurity is self-perpetuating. Appreciate others and they will appreciate you.
