Never judge your clarity based on someone else's response.

Why are you measuring? This is how you block, delay, hinder, obstruct and deny his place in the life as a father.

If you don't enjoy your life, sorrow, sadness, suffering, fear, shame and guilt will.

Remain open. There is something bigger than you know going on here.

Plan your hours to be productive...Plan your weeks to be educational...Plan your years to be purposeful. Plan your life to be an experience of growth. Plan to change. Plan to grow.

You must be willing to examine and explore your dark side. You must acknowledge how bad you can be and how horribly unloving you can behave. When you know how deep and dark your dark side is, it helps you stand a little taller in the light.

Be willing to share all of who you are. So many of us want a partner, but we're not willing to show all of us. That's why we have a weave, we're wearing Spanx and everything is 'fine.' If you're not willing to let your partner see your cellulite or know your biggest fears, then you aren't really ready to share yourself.
