At the core, your ego’s desires come from the wish to be loved. Your ego may believe that more money, a perfect romantic partner, a wonderful family, or fame will give you lasting peace, but underneath all these desires is the longing to be loved.
These desires can all be healthy when they originate from your heart, but when you pursue them for the wrong reasons, they’ll never satisfy your ego’s inner longing.
The love you seek in the outer, material world can only come from within. Once you find the well of infinite love within your heart, you’ll find it reflected in all areas of your life.
Love,
Eric John Campbell
