I think that in today's world, by nature, we are all self-centered. And that often leads to selfishness.

Most of us have more potential than we will ever develop. What holds us back is often a lack of courage.

Lack of love from parents often motivates their children to go searching for love in other relationships. This search is often misguided and leads to further disappointment.

Others who openly discuss matters of spirituality often ignore the warning signs. They are so in love with each other, enjoy being with each other, and can see themselves making each other happy for the rest of their lives, and they close their eyes to huge differences in their views of spirituality.

The decision to get married will impact one's life more deeply than almost any decision in life. Yet people continue to rush into marriage with little or no preparation for making a marriage successful. In fact, many couples give far more attention to making plans for the wedding than making plans for marriage. The wedding festivities last only a few hours, while the marriage, we hope, will last for a lifetime

The one who chooses to love will find appropriate ways to express that decision everyday.

I cannot change others, but I can influence others... we can't change people, but we can and we do influence people, and we do it every single day.
