Lust, desire and passion. They can turn a wallflower into a sexual predator and a rational person into a raving lunatic.

Words are potential weapons so use them wisely.

Take the time to slow down, relax, meditate, and contemplate the wonders within. You will discover an inner calm and balance that previously eluded you.

Learn to love and value yourself, regardless of the affections of others. Romantic love then becomes a wonderful bonus, rather than a necessity.

Make your inner foundations strong and secure and then you can enjoy your partner, rather than feeling you must own them.

Learn to love yourself for who you are, not just what you do - there is a big difference.

With strong self-esteem you can climb any mountain and weather any storm.
