Do what you truly want to do. No tit for tat or trying to do what you THINK will please somebody else. Do what you would have done anyway, and you can be happy, regardless of the outcome!
The more honest you can be, the more fearless, happy, and successful you can be.

You will choose consciously, or unconsciously, with your beliefs and the actions you take based on those beliefs.
Just for a minute, pretend you have the most magnificent partner, better than you ever hoped or imagined you could get. And you’re looking for a gift that will reflect your sweetheart and your love and gratitude for him (or her).
