Our past is not, as some fear, a series of events carved in stone that we must carry around for the rest of our lives... but a kaleidoscope of experiences that, when viewed through different lenses, can 'color' (change) how we see our present and future.

The key to being with family is to engage with those we love in a way we would teach to those we love.

To influence others to change, you must be able to frame that change in terms of the future, and in a way that has value to all concerned.

We can't always choose how we feel. We can, however, choose what we do about it, which ironically can change how we feel!

In order to become more influential with those who are resistant to our point of view, we must be willing to start with what is influencing them.

The journey of life is both too short and too precious to be sidetracked by guilt trips.

The true measure of our belief in the validity of our values is our willingness to act upon them.
