Love
We may be in the company of people but we are all haunted by a feeling of isolation. Move from loneliness to communication. Forge relationships by stepping out of your zone and aligning with others’ agenda. See your interests in theirs. Put yourself in their shoes and try and look at things from their perspective. Then they return the courtesy and what was a fractious interaction becomes meaningful. Everyone cooperates with you. You learn to share In others’ success.
Finally move to communion. There is a higher Power that has bestowed you with millions of gifts. When you look at all that you have, you become grateful. You move from deficiency motivation to being abundance-driven. You get into thanksgiving mode. This makes for happiness. As long as you are deficiency motivated you make yourself miserable because you are unable to enjoy what you have. Your focus is always on what you do not have. Gratitude enables you to enjoy whatever you have. And with a calm mind you are even able to acquire more of the world.
