Look at a person who is close to you right now — anyone it happens to be. Notice the ways in which you push him away. Stop doing that for a moment. Become aware of what he is offering and what he is not. Allow the two of you to be together in whatever way you are. Just be with it all for a little while and let it be fine the way it is.
Do the same thing tomorrow with someone else. We discount so many people who are in our worlds, while waiting for "the right one" to appear.
