Never ask advice from someone who has something at stake or something to lose from your decision. The more objective the person is the greater value you should place on the input.

Sometimes people who adamantly assert an opinion or view don't even hold it themselves.

When someone refuses to listen to you or others, there is one source or entity that he will listen to: Call it God, the universe, a higher power, karmic law, whatever. At any rate, if he feels that the universe is trying to tell him something, then he may listen. He won't listen to you or anyone else, but the universe, that's a different story.

Whenever you are dealing with someone or something of unknown value the first one who places a value on it establishes its worth.

The guilty are uncomfortable with silence.

When we rise above our temptations and resist them, we exercise self-control. And that's when we experience true freedom and emotional health.

Our focus is our reality. What we choose to focus on becomes our world. It produces our thoughts, values, attitudes, and beliefs.
