Your own happiness

(Liberty Times)

"You always expect someone else to give you something.

Maybe it's a praise, maybe it's a gift, maybe it's a smile, maybe it's a relationship.

Ultimately, you always expect to get self assurance from something someone gives you.

When you don't get it, you're moody and unhappy; after you get it, you feel like something is missing.

Darling, you know something? No matter whether you get it or don't get it, expecting something from someone will definitely give you suffering, because that is giving away your right to happiness.

What someone can give you, someone can also take back.

So, other than yourself, who is your source of happiness?

So, darling, don't expect to get anything from another person.

When you don't expect others to make you happy, you can get real happiness."

The child inside your heart

(translation mine)

"You are often afraid of confrontation, worried about the appearance of disharmonious circumstances.

That is because inside there is a child who needs protection. Maybe in a forgotten era, [he] once experienced a unexplained ill intentions, and so is easily frightened and confused, because he is afraid to be hurt again.

Then, please hug this child, tell him, whatever has happened has already passed, now you have grown up already, (and) can weather all sorts of rain and winds, ask him to no longer be worried and fearful.

Yes, my dear, maybe you will still be hurt, but you are definitely strong enough."
