Elegant persuasion is when the other person thought it was their idea.
How someone is responding to you may have nothing to do with you.
When you break an agreement in a relationship, you must offer an amendment first, or it is meaningless.
Habits are a function of your subconscious mind.
Everything you want and you don't have, you get from other people.
You simply cannot blame anyone or anything for causing you to be, think or respond in a certain way.
