II. Why we are never truly satisfied
+ “Only a man who lives not in time but in the present is happy…”
+ “Human beings are storytellers. We don’t see or observe things as they are but we impose a narrative line on the events in our life to add order to them.”
+ “We are not here to run from one illusionary problem to another; we are here to see, and experience, and love, and trust what is present — right now.”
III. How to know a man is ready to commit
+ “If you wait around for someone who has nothing to give, you’ll end up right back where you started: with nothing”
+ “He isn’t ready for commitment if he has no plans for the future.”
+ “Putting other people and things above you doesn’t make you a priority, it makes you a stepping stone to the next easier thing that’s sure to come along.”
+ “If he wants to be with you for the long haul he isn’t going to be sitting on the fence mulling it over for years before deciding you’re The One.”
+ “More importantly, if you want a man who’ll commit, find one who’s actually ready. A man is ready to commit when he follows through with his actions and keeps his word. Anything less than that is nothing.”
