Never do anything that isn't play.

There are the two main reasons we don't get our needs met. First, we don't know how to express our needs to begin with and second if we do, we forget to put a clear request after it, or we use vague words like appreciate, listen, recognize, know, be real, and stuff like that.

The number one rule of our training is empathy before education.

If we don't tell people about our needs, it is much less likely they will be met.

I never have to worry about another person's response, only how I react to what they say.

The most dangerous of all behaviors may consist of doing things 'because we're supposed to.

Thinking based on who deserves what blocks compassionate communication.
