It is silly to give up one’s happiness for the need for flattery or compliments!
Compliments are the honeysuckle of words.
However, a steady diet of honeysuckle will leave you malnourished, and very wanting of real sustenance.
Quit running hither and yon in a panic to only remain hungry and ultimately wanting.
Through yoga and meditation, you can dine at the feast of the Self, a cornucopia of delights–glowing love, warm joy, scintillating bliss, infinite inner peace, deep deep happiness….
Practice and fill your home with these. You, my friend, are worthy of such an ultimately satisfying feast!
