But do not wait for someone to make you happy.

Ch 6 - Healing
"Life’s pain is not something to be overcome.
Instead, it calls for gentle love and healing.
The more forcefully we deny it, or try to forget about it, the stronger it rises up.
Gaze warmly at your pain, without denying or resisting it.
If you do, you will detect the love that lies beneath it."

Ch 2: Family
"The greatest gift that parents can give their child is to be happy themselves.
If the parents are happy, then the child can grow up into a happy and confident adult.
But if the parents are not happy, then the child can feel worthless, unable to make their parents happy no matter what."
