The Cycle of Romance

Reality Therapy says that to lead a happylife, one must meet the basic needs: Survival, Belonging, Power,Freedom, and Fun. Ask yourself: What do I want? What am I doingnow? Is it working? What is my picture of a quality life? Howdo I feel? What could I do differently? I can only control myown behavior, not others. My choices are my own, not another'sfault.

Belonging
We can like everyone and build a sense of self worth byaccepting those around us, along with their differences. The bestway to have a friend is to be a friend.
Cielito Lindo

Power
We all must learn that, although we can befriend and admireall, we cannot impose our will upon others to possess them. Weneed power over our own circumstances, but to attempt to gainpower over others leads to unproductive, unreasonable behavior.
Los Laureles

Freedom
Gain a vision of what a good life is all about, and thenimagine yourself in that picture. Many behaviors that are ineffectveare the result of a limited world view. We need to help one anotherexpand our vision of what the world is all about, to see our ownplace in a society full of hope and beauty.
Las Gaviotas

Fun
If you meet the basic needs, you no longer need substancesto alter your mood. If you have a friend and you are a friend,Red Ribbon Week lasts all year long. The best fun is when youare there to enjoy it, not on a psychotic "trip".
