To share our independence, to me, is synonym with “maturity”. Maturity means the combination of courage–to do something–and consideration–to stop doing that when it’s required. Kind of like the gas and brake in a vehicle.“ To depend on Love isn’t the same as to depend on a single person to feel that connection towards Love. The more Love that flows through any given relationship, the more love that can flow towards other relationships, in contrast, a lack of Love in a relationship calls us to look out for anything else that could make us feel connected, feel accepted.“ Most people aren’t ready for the kind of commitment and dedication required to ‘merge’ in someone else while retaining their individuality, and after a very short time, they feel suffocated and abandon such relationship.“ In order to identify when we are receiving this energy from a particular–limited–individual, or when it is coming from Source, the Love that flows from Source is unlimited and increases constantly, whilst the other one needs constant recharge to continue to function. It’s as clear as the difference between sunlight and a torchlight. Nityananda Das
About This Quote

I love this quote because it’s a reminder to me that I can’t control how other people feel about me, but I can control how I feel about myself. If I want to have a healthy relationship with another person, I have to be willing to put my needs first and stop being so selfish. Sometimes we don’t allow ourselves to receive love from others because we don’t want to take the risk that they won’t be able to return the favor. It’s also ok to not be okay with relationships that aren’t perfect all the time.

It is easy to stay single if you choose because you become a guide for those who are looking for a good partner. If you are single, you can play a part in helping less fortunate people find love because you give them the opportunity to spread your message about love and happiness. You can also focus on helping those around you find better ways of expressing themselves as well as greater positive outcomes from their lives.
