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

You can't fight fire with fire, or fear with fear.

A meaningful life is composed of a series of meaningful moments. If this is what we want, then the ability to infuse each moment with meaning would seem to be a skill worth practicing.

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.

When we take no responsibility for any aspect of our past, we limit our ability to respond in the present and the future.

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.

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.
