Return to Love

by Marianne Williamson

Thought is Cause; experience is Effect. If you don’t like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.

The narcissistic personality is looking for perfection, which is a way of making sure that love never has a chance to blossom. The initial high can be so heady, so tantalizing, that the real work of growth which needs to follow the initial attraction phase can seem too dull, too hard to commit to. As soon as the other person is seen to be a real human being, the ego is repelled and wants to find somewhere else to play.
