The pulse of a strong relationship involves a rhythmic movement between giving and taking, talking and listening, valuing the other person and feeling commensurately valued in return.

The number of the hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. It is our most precious resource. The more we take responsibility for the energy we bring to the world, the more empowered and productive we become. The more we blame others or external circumstances, the more negative and compromised our energy is likely to be.

We grow the aspects of our lives that we feed - with energy and engagement - and choke off those we deprive of fuel. Your life is what you agree to attend to.

Thankfulness and gratitude are the foundation of character and being able to serve others.
