The deep, intimate connection I am searching for is within me. I am all that I am looking for. I am love. All is well.
Interpretation
True fulfillment and love come from within oneself rather than external circumstances.
This quote by Louise Hay emphasizes the idea that the quest for deep connections and love should start from within. It suggests that recognizing one's own worth and embracing self-love is crucial to experiencing genuine relationships with others, as all we seek externally is already present within us.
In practice
This quote could be shared during a self-love workshop to inspire participants.
Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find it increases. I like to bless with love all that is in my life right now-my home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs-the money I do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and to enjoy this incredible planet.
Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of gratitude. I now allow this gratitude to fill my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being. This gratitude radiates out from me in all directions, touching everything in my world, and returns to me as more to be grateful for. The more gratitude I feel, the more I am aware that the supply is endless.
Be willing to stop punishing yourself for your mistakes. Love yourself for your willingness to learn and grow.

Don't settle for anybody just to have someone. Set your standards. What kind of love do you want to attract? List the qualities you really want in the relationship. Develop those qualities in yourself and you will attract a person who has them.
You are not a helpless victim of your own thoughts, but rather a master of your own mind.
And the coolness of your smile is stirringofbirds between my arms
No love that a man has will only give him pleasure in return- he shall also suffer pain because of it, except for love of Allah.
If you do not know what you feel, then it is difficult to choose love; it is better to fall. Then you do not have to be responsible for your actions.
Only picture to yourself a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music.
Say she rail; why, I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale. Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear As morning roses newly wash'd with dew. Say she be mute and will not speak a word; Then I'll commend her volubility, and say she uttereth piercing eloquence.
If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only.
