Convincing or manipulating someone into doing what we want won’t genuinely make us feel good because deep down we know it isn’t real. Trying to control others originates from a lack of self-love and fear, which can only be healed from within. Rather than going with the urge to control, we can instead go within and feel our feelings. Acknowledging and feeling the emptiness we want them to fill is, ironically, the remedy that will make us feel whole. The love we’re really needing…
Is inside us.
