"Most people's lives are run by desire and fear.
- Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to be yourself more fully.
- All fear is the fear of losing something and thereby becoming diminished and being less.

"These two movements obscure the fact that Being cannot be given or taken away. Being in its fullness is already within you, Now."

— Eckhart Tolle

“The near enemy of love is #attachment. Attachment masquerades as love. It says, “I will love this person (because I need something from them).” Or, “I’ll love you if you’ll love me back. I’ll love you, but only if you will be the way I want.” This isn’t the fullness of love. Instead there is attachment—there is clinging and fear. True love allows, honors, and appreciates; attachment grasps, demands, needs, and aims to possess.”
― Brené Brown
