It takes love...

... to not please others.

... to say what you mean.

... to pursue although it challenges you.

... to embody patience and hope.

When someone isn't satisfied with life, it is not because they lack guts, responsibility, capability, gratitude, luck and whatnot. It simply is because they haven't had enough love in their life.

When they start cultivating love for a work (passion) and for others (compassion), when they are loved sufficiently by themselves (self-love) and by another, their vitality comes back. Luckily, love only needs one entrance to blossom.

If you are lost, pick one entrance (passion, compassion, self-love, being loved) to take roots in and let healing permeate to all other parts.
