On shifting the focus from 'What can I get?' to 'What can I Give?'
Q: How do I judge if “my” love is true? A: Pay attention to yourself. Watch out for yourself. Listen closely to the inner workings of your heart the moment great things happen to the person you claim to love. When an avalanche of good news hits them, unexpectedly, out of nowhere, how do you feel, deep inside? What effect does it have on you, internally? Does it make you feel better? Or bitter? Do you secretly wish you were at the receiving end of that happiness, whatever it may be? Does it make you competitive? Does it leave you feeling like you have to up your game now? Or, does their happiness make you happy too? Does it make you smile? Does it brighten your day? When their dreams come true, does it leave you feeling genuinely fist-pump-ing-ly happy for them? Does their good fortune make you deliriously joyful, even if it won’t benefit you in the least? Has it ever? Has your emotional generosity ever surprised you that way?

You are proud of something you put no effort, whatsoever, into making. You are ashamed of something you had absolutely no control over. Honey, give your looks a break.
