Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.
Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’
Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.
Don’t look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
A shared life is a great life.
Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.
The objective of Nonviolent Communication is not to change people and their behavior in order to get our way: it is to establish relationships based on honesty and empathy, which will eventually fulfill everyone’s needs.
Love all. Serve all. Help ever. Hurt never.
Open, honest communication is the best foundation for any relationship, but remember that at the end of the day it’s not what you say or what you do, but how you make people feel that matters the most.
We are at our finest when we take care of each other.
Your relationships will either make you or break you and there is no such thing as a neutral relationship. People either inspire you to greatness or pull you down in the gutter, it’s that simple. No one fails alone, and no one succeeds alone.
Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three.
We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship.
Relationships matter: the currency for systemic change was trust, and trust comes through forming healthy working relationships. People, not programs, change people.
No matter how busy you are, or how busy you think you are, the work will always be there tomorrow, but your friends might not be.
Happiness equals reality minus expectations.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Hurt people hurt people.
If all that I would want to do was to sit and talk to you... would you listen?
I hope you find someone who speaks your language so you don’t have to spend a lifetime translating your soul.
