*********** You ***********

You are the answer.

You do not need to be loved ...
Not at the cost of yourself.
The single relationship
Truly central and crucial in your life

Is the relationship with yourself.

It is rewarding to find someone whom you like,

But it is essential to like yourself.

It is quickening to recognize that someone

Is a good and decent human being,

But it is indispensable to view yourself
As acceptable.

It is a delight to discover people

Who are worthy of respect and admiration and love,

But it is vital to believe yourself deserving
Of these things.

For you cannot live in someone else.

You cannot find yourself in someone else.

You cannot be given a life by someone else.

Of all the people you will know in a lifetime,

You are the only one
You will never leave nor lose.

To the question of your life,

You are the only answer.

To the problems of your life,

You are the only solution.
