I was always there when they needed me. I left my work, my time, even my people, just to make sure they were ok, but when I needed them…They said I expect too much. They said I was needy and called me a burden. That’s when I realized that being available for others makes you “good,” but expecting others to be there for you makes you “too much.

You are Popovic, right?’
Steve jumped to his feet and saluted. ‘Stefan Popovic, Flight Lieutenant RAF, sir.’
He was facing a man in the uniform of a colonel in the British Army. His first impression was that this was a man better suited to civilian dress than military uniform. He was in his middle years, with a round face, a high forehead and thick-rimmed glasses. They had not spoken before, but he knew who he was. Colonel Bailey had been dropped by parachute to the headquarters of General Draza Mihailovic on Christmas Day, as a representative of the British government. ‘But in spite of the name, you are not a Yugoslav, I’m told,’ the colonel continued.
‘No, sir. I’m an American. My grandparents emigrated to Alaska from Macedonia before the last war.

Gloria's office...was sleek and cold and gray. Just like Gloria's suit -- or, I thought privately, like Gloria's heart. Meticulous as a shark in pursuit of what she wanted, heedless of the damage done to anyone else.

When you're physically present, you're in people's eyes.
But what's more important is...
When you're not physically present, how many minds are you in?
And the harsh truth is — maybe none, or just one."

Celebrate your accomplishments so thoroughly as to burn the bridge to whom you were before. You must stop from time to time and lay claim to the progress you made. And close off the option of retreating to a smaller version of yourself.
- Allison A. Armstrong
No one ever tells you men are like knickers – after a time, they get grey and washed out and they can have a tendency to fall down when you least expect it. Or, even worse, you find a perfect pair that you love, only to discover that your shape is changing and they don't fit any more, no matter how much you try to pull them up.

Love is one of the most divine qualities. One can enter into God from many doors, and love is one of the most beautiful doors to enter into God. Love is the most beautiful
path towards God, but one has to go on purifying the path of love.
The ordinary love is full of jealousy, anger, hatred, possessiveness, ego and domination.
These are the parasites of love, which have to be removed so that love becomes purer,
alive and intense.
First love is a relationship with another person and then love becomes a friendship.
Then love becomes only a loving quality of our heart, and ultimately love becomes love
itself. We become love. That is divine love. The path of love ultimately leads to God.

Don’t make yourself an idol. Since it feels good to fill up our cup, it can become too easy to give ourselves too much time and let the other relationships in our lives take a hit. Make sure you are not taking too much time away from the other relationships in your life. Find the balance.

> If I provide caretaking and feel cared for by a network of people whom I may be tied to by passions and attachments that may be different, with different ingredients: more or less intimacy, attention, shared life, and so on, then I will not experience interest in a new affection from a place of lack, I won’t cling to a sinking ship, I will savor and appreciate the good in people without feeling the anxiety that it could end at any moment. In that ideal situation, I will give away my engagement and my help, and I won’t put conditions on them because I know I won’t need compensation; perhaps returns won’t come from the same place where I put energy in, but from others. But that will end up supporting us collectively because we will be a network.

Son,
Do not lift your hands to discipline another man's daughter. It is not your job to do that. Yours is to show her the right path with love and the authority given to you from Above.
