We search for love outside ourselves when love is all around us. Love is everywhere, but we don’t have the eyes to see. Our emotional body is no longer tuned to love. We are so afraid to love because it isn’t safe to love. The fear of rejection frightens us. We have to pretend to be what we are not; we try to be accepted by our partner when we don’t accept ourselves. But the problem is not that our partner rejects us. The problem is that we reject ourselves, because we are not good enough, because that is what we believe.

Additional quotes by Don Miguel Ruiz

When we try to describe the truth with words, we distort it and it's no longer truth — it's our story. The story may be true for us, but that doesn't mean it's true for anyone else.
