The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.

Anyone remembers being #dumped, and your friends would say, "Well, if it's meant to be, then it's meant to be, and you'll get back together."
I can not stress enough how unhelpful that kind of #mentality is.
Yes, the #world will keep spinning and you'll both keep living your lives. HOWEVER, giving the dumped person hope that some miracle will bring them back together without them intentionally doing anything is... kind of cruel.
You can't just sit there and expect everything to work out exactly how YOU want in YOUR #favor.
If I want to learn french, I can't just stare at my French book. I have to read it, study it, and practice it.
Don't watch your #life pass you by. Even if you wanted to retreat to live in the woods, you're still doing what you want and what you #love. You have to go do it.
Being in #harmony with the #Tao doesn't mean sitting there doing nothing. It means doing what comes naturally for your self.
Reach for your #dreams. Plan for them, and then go do it.
