I am a dailygood fan. Reading the inspirational quotes every morning is something I look forward to; however, this is the first quote I disagree with. I think trust is an essential bond between people that must exist if there is to be any emotional or psychological substance in the relationship. Getting to my point... I think the quote undermines the importance of self-discovery and self-worth. I think you must be happy with who you are with or without other people. You cannot rely on someone else to "complete" you as an individual; however, I do recognize and appreciate the fact that people are by nature inter-dependent creatures. We all need human interaction, but that level of interaction is different for everyone. 

I was sitting here contemplating why this doesnt sit right with me either and you hit on the head. Sometimes people have to learn trust also. 

It also might work on a mountain, but do the same thing in central park and things would be quite different

IF ONLY I CAN

By:  Ryndon M. Paulus Augustinus

If only I can return the past,

Since the day I was born, I will make it;

If only I was taught proper theology,

And sound soteriology, when I was younger,

Disordered life would not have been my life,

As though uncertain where to go.

If only the beauty of life I understand earlier,

My life will have peace & harmony --

Yes, I am not what I am now today.

Very well, You knew, my life is much in trouble;

Since my youth, mountains & hills I climbed,

Oceans & seas I hold back;

I did not experience true joy in the rock,

Transitory happiness is all I obtained;

I have known no true friend --

They’re just good when they need something;

They’re just good when benefits are for them

 But if, I am needed no longer, they’re all gone.

 So grateful, before it’s too late, You charmed me;

Before it’s beyond repair, You called me,

You first loved me, then, You gave me

Wisdom to understand Your precious Word;

Faith to glean salvation by Your endless Grace.

Help me, please, have mercy, O my true Friend,

To start a new life harmonious to Your Will.

Only in You, O Eternal Father,

I have found real joy & happiness so pure;

I have seen Your power & glory in Nature.

LORD, I believe, You will lead & guide me ever;

Inward peace, You will give to me, O GOD, forever.

I look straight ahead in You with honest confidence

Where I am truly secure, now and forever...
