We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone-but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.

True success is always the last of a string of failed attempts to get it right.

If you're angry at a loved one, hug that person. And mean it. You may not want to hug - which is all the more reason to do so. It's hard to stay angry when someone shows they love you, and that's precisely what happens when we hug each other.

How many human beings anywhere, hold on to a relationship merely because it exists? This fear of loneliness, abandonment, or failure can, if we let it, hold any of us back from doing exactly what each of us needs to do to feel fulfilled.

Believe in something big. Your life is worth a noble motive.

You must take chances. If you do nothing, you reduce the possibilities you have for greater joy.

Nothing quells anxiety like action!
