"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

[b]"Keep exploring what it takes to be the opposite of who you are,"[/b
] suggests psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of the book Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention. This advice is one of his ideas about how to get into attunement with the Tao, also known as being in the zone.
How would you go about being the opposite of who you are? Try it and see if it drives you into a state of euphoria. * The preceding oracle comes from my book, PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings.

I feel I MUST re-post the following that Accuray submitted only recently as a definite, as very wise words to live by (in reference to mutual contribution in a M or intimate R):

In order to get this, you should be willing to meet the other person's most important emotional needs, you should be tolerant of their weaknesses, you should support and encourage them, you should go into things with a "partner" perspective, you should avoid shaming and criticism, you should be willing to make yourself vulnerable and share the bad with the good without shame, and you should make an effort to share their interests for the purpose of bringing you closer to each other.
"To me the secret is pretending that everything will be okay, because it will. Things may not turn out the way you want them to, but they will be okay. In the movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" there is a line that says "in India we have a saying. Everything will be alright in the end, so if it is not alright it is not yet the end."" ~ NASCARDaddy
If things are not alright... then it's not the end...
