But the man or woman who lives only for the love and attention of others is never satisfied--at least, not for long. Despite our efforts, we will never find lasting, fulfilling peace if we must continually prove ourselves to others. Our desire to be loved and accepted is a symptom of a deeper need--the need that frequently governs our behavior and is the primary source of our emotional pain. Often unrecognized, this is our need for self-worth.
