Never define yourself in terms of how you are negatively affected by others.

Trusting fear, while fearing trust and happiness often creates a less than happy life.

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.

There are two ways to look at most problems... 'Oh Crap!' or, 'Good Information!,' and our choice will give us good information on how to deal with problems in the future.

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.

The most successful form of correction is when the "other" feels informed versus chastised.

Until we become clear about our own worth and value, we will forever be searching for it in the eyes of others.
