Relationships are like a book, in that they are for learning.
Nothing has any power except the power that you give it.
How someone is responding to you may have nothing to do with you.
To yourself you are what you think. To the outside world, you are what you do.
People reach a point of readiness for change when they reach their own personal bottom.
Turn your 'problems' into 'challenges' and you will suddenly see results in a more positive light.
