Working with who we are

Admit something: Everyone you see, you say to them, “Love me” Of course, you do not do so out loud; otherwise Someone would call the cops Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us To connect. Why not become the one who lives with a full moon In each eye that is always saying, With that sweet moon language, What every other eye in this world is dying to hear?

When you understand, , that what most people really, really want is simply to feel good about themselves, and when you realize that with just a few well-chosen words you can help virtually anyone on the planet instantly achieve this, you begin to realize just how simple life is, how powerful you are, and that love is the key.
