Happiness Quote by Melanie Tonia Evan

“Needing is a state of the ego that tries to convince us that we are empty and we need something to feel love, success and happiness. Our true self requires nothing to feel complete. From a state of being complete we create more to complete us.” quote by Melanie Tonia Evan
