“There is no truth. There is only perception.”
Gustave Flaubert
“Forgive anyone who has caused you pain or harm. Keep in mind that forgiving is not
for others. It is for you. Forgiving is not forgetting. It is remembering without anger. It
frees up your power, heals your body, mind and spirit. Forgiveness opens up a
pathway to a new place of peace where you can persist despite what has happened
to you.”
Les Brown
“Out partners do not belong to us; they are only on loan, with an option to renew-or
not. Knowing we can lose them does not have to undermine commitment; rather it
mandates an active engagement that long-term couples often lose. The realization
that our loved ones are forever elusive should jolt us out of complacency, in the most
positive sense.”
Esther Perel
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”

“When you blame others, you give up your power to change.”

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”
Karl Jung
“When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“Don’t believe everything you think.”

Ancient Kabbalah Saying
“What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same result.”
Einstein
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meat to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s I everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from or own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Viktor Frankl
True love is about vulnerability; allowing someone to see that you want and need them in your life, and trusting them not to hurt you.
To love at all, is to be vulnerable.
C.S. Lewis
Believe you can, and you’re halfway there.
Theodore Roosevelt
There’s no “should” or “should nots” when it comes to having feelings. They’re part of who we are and their origins are beyond our control.
Mr. Rogers
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
James Baldwin
There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life live you. It does anyway.
