Stuck On 'Love' Today ....

Maybe when you feel deprived of such, this becomes so much more a focus:

On Anthony (Tony) Robbins' website, the following is posted:

"What creates truly extraordinary relationships?  How can you find and build a truly passionate, loving and lasting connection with someone ~ the kind of connection that makes you laugh, love and cry to the very depths of your soul?  No matter what our situation in life, an intimate relationship is a powerful force that can ultimately determine the level of happiness and joy we experience each day.

No matter how much we have achieved in any area of our lives, true fulfillment can only be found in one thing:  the emotional quality of our personal relationships.  Unfortunately, most of us have settled for something that falls below our deepest desires.  We all want love and passion, YET most of us fill ourselves up with work, friends, sports, food, or causes outside the realm of passion, ecstasy, and intimate love."


Sometimes ... it feels like I am the only one in the world searching for this kind of love / relationship.  Sometimes ... it feels like I am the only one in the world that gets it.  Sometimes ... I get really angry with people in my life who seem to just want superficial, surface connection to me.  Why bother?, is the way I feel about that.  

I find, in my life, the words taken from Mr. Robbins' website, that are highlighted above to be extremely powerful.  And true.  And I cringe when I think back to people in my life who have said to me, "Terri, you have to be happy with yourself, to find true happiness."  Most, of course, were referring to how MUCH I put into relationship ... meaning, I guess that when I connect to someone, I usually make that someone the center of my world.  I have yet, to make any "someone" understand that I AM HAPPY WITH MYSELF and what I want in relationship is a HIGHER LEVEL of happiness; a HIGHER LEVEL of fulfillment through relationship; passion, ecstasy and intimacy that make me (and him) laugh, cry and love to the depths of our souls.

Sometimes ... I think a few of the people in my life actually DO get it ... they are just fearful of being this vulnerable. 

Stuck on love today,
