You can't do anything as long as you are afraid of what might happen. Fear clouds opportunities, erases possibilities, and limits the ability to move beyond the place in which the mind is stuck. No matter how difficult we think the problem is, we must muster up the courage to face it.

Sooner or later, we must all accept the fact that in a relationship, the only person you are dealing with is yourself.

I am now willing to forgive myself . . . for believing I could offer something to others before I have offered it to myself.

All relationships have the same basic components: people, needs, and expectations.

If you see crazy coming, cross the street!

We voluntary participate in things that we know are causing us harm because we believe we're powerless to do anything about it.

When you need to be loved, you take love wherever you can find it. When you are desperate to be loved, feel love, know love, you seek out what you think love should look like. When you find love, or what you think love is, you will lie, kill, and steal to keep it. But learning about real love comes from within. It cannot be given. It cannot be taken away. It grows from your ability to re-create within yourself, the essence of loving experiences you have had in your life.
