When you’re trying to get others to love you, it’s because you don’t love yourself enough. And the reason for that is always the same–you don’t know yourself well enough.
You ARE lovable. And to know you is to love you. … More

Love …
Authentic love is my concept of love. It extends far beyond romantic love or even consummate love shared with a life partner.
Love is everything good; it is the force for good. It is pure and resolute, with no self-serving agenda, with no degrees or deviation. It is passion and peace. It is responsibility and freedom, strength and tenderness, rock solid and transparent. It is defenseless and invincible! It is neither pride nor shame. It is fearless, unifying, compassionate, and healing.
It is mine, yours, nobody’s, and everybody’s. It can’t be seen, or touched, or quantified; but it is everywhere. It is everything. It is the only thing that matters. … More
We watch more sex than we have …
Our society has never been so sexually liberated — or enslaved. We have an insatiable appetite for more.
When we can’t get the sex we want with a partner, we seem to settle for getting it vicariously. And the media deliver an ongoing stream of “opportunity.” How desperate do we have to be to sit in front of a TV screen week after week to see what “Desperate Housewives” are going to do next?
Sex sells everything from toothpaste to sailboats because we want to have more sex. Or do we?
About 23 percent of unmarried men and 32 percent of unmarried women report that they have not had sex in the last year. About 13 percent of married couples report that they have had sex only a few times in the last year, and 45 percent report that they have sex only a few times a month.
If we wanted sex as much as we let on, wouldn’t we participate more often? The average American adult watches TV for four hours and 35 minutes every day — that translates to 365 times a year, or 30 times a month for a lingering four hours and 35 minutes a pop!
You see, there’s some effort and risk in having sex, even in the context of a committed relationship.… More
Let Your Dance Be a Celebration of YOU!
“The best women will always be attracted to the men with the strongest convictions,” writes one reader.
Maybe he’s on to something, assuming that the men with the strongest convictions also live by them. We’re all looking for our way, so when somebody seems to have found theirs, that somebody (male or female) can be very attractive.
I’m not talking about arrogant or narrow-minded. Those qualities don’t attract the “best” women — or men. When somebody really knows the truth, he has a quiet self-assurance, and he’s not close-minded or threatened by a difference in philosophy.
I am talking about somebody who knows what he believes independent of society or religion or political party or club, somebody who has heard his own music and isn’t afraid to dance to it.
Imagine the earth as one giant dance floor. You can look around and see people who go through the motions as though they can’t quite feel the music. You see others trying to find some good moves to mimic. And, you see others who close their eyes and move effortlessly to the beat.
People with strong convictions hear their own music … and they’re not afraid to get out there and dance.… More
