  • If you do not feel deserving of happiness, consciously or subconsciously, or if you have accepted the idea that happiness is somehow wrong or cannot last, you will not respond appropriately when happiness comes knocking at your door in the form of romantic love.

What an opportunity for true spiritual growth and transformation-to defy your negative feelings and honor the gift that life offers you!
