Addicted to you...

 
"Have the kind of day that makes everyone wish they were on your drug"

Have you ever seen the movie When Harry Met Sally with Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal (I'm sure that is a dumb question)? If you have then there is no way you could have forgotten the most famous scene in the entire movie. You know the one...where Meg Ryan's character (the young and gorgeous Sally Albright) begins banging her hands on the table, faster and faster, moaning louder and LOUDER...and finally, when she "finishes," the camera pans to an older lady and she says...I'll bet you already knew it before I finished the sentence...you are correct! She say's "I'll have what she's having!" 

Clearly the older lady could see in Sally's body language and facial expressions, and that was SERIOUSLY enjoying something... and she wanted it. I believe that when you are in love, or just truly at a happy place in your life, people around you can sense that about a person. It's a beautiful thing when you see someone that you haven't seen in a while, and when you bump into them they just look...well...different! You can't put your finger on it, but there is this new spark about them that was never there before. You begin to catch up with them, and they tell you about something that has happened that has led them to a place in their life where they are the "Happiest they have ever been." 

The unfortunate part about this is that we are somewhat limited at how we can control our own feelings of sadness or regret. But the amazing part about this is that we have the ability, and FULL CONTROL, to make someone else feel like "they are on a drug." It really is empowering if you think about it. You have the ability to give someone that spark. The way you treat someone, the way you love someone can actually turn their life upside down....and in the best way imaginable. So much so that a complete stranger can take one look in someone's eyes and know they have found that perfect balance in their life. Think about that the next time you see someone gushing. Are you doing something to make someone in your life have that spark...or are you putting out their fire? Even worse...Are you doing all you can to provide the spark, and all you receive in return is a bucket of water on your flame?
