There are two ways to make someone important in our lives ... we can either love them or hate them.

When we engage people positively, we create a receptive platform for the ideas and information we wish to communicate.

As we interact with others, we can either be a person who is bringing out their best or pointing out their worst. Regardless, however, our choice is always more information about us than them.

Many people would rather be certain of their worries and fears, than risk the uncertainty of hope and optimism.

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.

The difference between self-confidence and conceit is as simple as love and fear. Jesus was self-confident ... Hitler was afraid.

Trust is simply a set of expectations about the present and the future. The key is to ensure that these are chosen and evaluated based upon awareness versus fear.
