You simply cannot blame anyone or anything for causing you to be, think or respond in a certain way.

Learn to trust and be trustworthy. When you treat someone as if they are being dishonest, you will train them to be. It's more powerful to treat someone as if they are being honest, and you will train them to now be honest, even if they weren't then.

Not expecting someone to measure up is an insult

How someone is responding to you may have nothing to do with you.

You choose how to feel and act every moment of every day. The moment you accept this responsibility completely, you gain total control over your life.

People reach a point of readiness for change when they reach their own personal bottom.

Thoughts are things...treat them accordingly.
