Often our self-esteem is bruised by criticism.

There is a great need today for all mankind to heed the plea to cease to find fault one with another. Some of us are so accustomed to wearing faultfinding spectacles that we cannot see past them. We need to open our eyes and ears and look for the good and the blessings around us.

...Many of us are perpetual reactors. We let other people determine our actions and attitudes. We let other people determine whether we will be rude or gracious, depressed or elated, critical or loyal, passive or dedicated.

Someone has said, “A friend is a person who is willing to take me the way I am.” Accepting this as one definition of the word, may I quickly suggest that we are something less than a real friend if we leave a person the same way we find him.

It is a happy day when we come to know that with God's help, nothing is impossible for us.

Proper communication will always be a main ingredient for building family solidarity and permanence.

God has given each of us one or more special talents....It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has given.
