Regardless of the problem, as long as our solution requires someone else to change, we will never know the power and promise of self-determination.

Problems occur when we tie our peace of mind to another's state of mind.

All connections are infused with dreams of what is possible in the future. Thus, when we lose something or someone important to us, we aren't just grieving the loss, we are grieving the shattered dream.

Living exclusively in the land of the head or the heart will always be a limiting, limited experience. The most successful among us have dual citizenship.

Perspective is what allows us to step back and see the entire forest instead of just the same old tree we keep running into again and again.

But if your work is your art, a personal reflection of who you are, the only person who can do that better than you, is a future you.

One key to successful relationships is learning to say "no" without guilt, so that you can say "yes" without resentment.
