Victimization status is the modern promised land of absolution from personal responsibility.

I'm kind of a jock. I sail, I ride a bike, I hike, I pump iron. I just love to be active.

People from the most horrendous of childhoods can have good lives, but it comes down to a very seemingly simple word. 'Choice.'

Psychology doesn't like to talk about evil. It likes to talk about bad childhoods. But I very much believe that some people are evil and motivation is not necessary for evil.

When you're the victim of the behavior, it's black and white; when you're the perpetrator, there are a million shades of gray.

You've touched people and known it. You've touched people and never may know it. Either way, you have something to give. It is in giving to one another that each of our lives becomes meaningful.

Learning to endure, transform by perspective or action, and be grateful is the fast lane to a good life. That's right. Having great luck and fortune is not the conduit to a loving and enjoyable life; gratitude is.
