when a person leaves your life, what I am saying is that once you realise that the source of your love, joy and happiness is within you, it will help the healing
      process dramatically.

      Now, take another step in your journey to happiness. Apply the same principles mentioned above to the happiness that exists in your life. Pretty soon you will
      realise that happiness, just like your love, is sourced within you and the feelings you assigned to them. Stop assigning happiness and love to others and you will
      see happiness and love magically reappear in your life.
