Completing Oneself in Relationship?

Many people think that when they find the “right” person they will become whole and complete. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, sorry, warning, warning, warning! This is the basis of many an unhappy partnerships because now your wholeness or happiness depends upon the other person. What if they leave you, or die, or you leave them, etc.? Never base your happiness on someone else! Not your dog, cat, lover, children, money, degree, job, etc. We are all whole complete and perfect, period! We have just forgotten as things from our past have been interpreted in ways that do not serve us. We are the Masters of our own happiness. the only difference between happy people and unhappy people is their interpretation of their circumstances. And, when we are truly happy and whole with ourselves, that is what we will attract in a companion or mate. It is smothering to our partner when we  put the responsibility of our happiness onto another. Happiness is a state of being that we choose, not something we get outside ourselves. So think twice if you are looking for happiness and completeness from another. You may be very disappointed and ultimately unhappy.
