Bliss Quote by David Deida
“The superior man is not seeking fulfillment through work and woman, because he is already full. For him, work and intimacy are opportunities to give his gifts, and to be vanished in the bliss of giving.”

A truly complete person does not seek fulfillment from external sources; instead, work and intimacy become channels for expressing his inner abundance.

Share your gifts, not seek them.
