Everything That Gets Born Dies.

I'd Always Been Interested In Psychology.

Because If You've Found Meaning In Your Life, You Don't Want To Go Back. You Want To Go Forward.

Acceptance Is Not A Talent You Either Have Or Don't Have. It's A Learned Response. My Meditation Teacher Made A Great Point About The Difference Between A Reaction And A Response: You May Not Have Control Over Your Initial Reaction To Something, But You Can Decide What Your Response Will Be. You Don't Have To Be At The Mercy Of Your Emotions, And Acceptance Can Be Your First Step Toward Empowerment . . . For Me, Acceptance Has Been The Cornerstone To My Having An Emotionally Healthy Response To My Illness.

There Is No Formula To Relationships. They Have To Be Negotiated In Loving Ways, With Room For Both Parties, What They Want And What They Need, What They Can Do And What Their Life Is Like. In Business, People Negotiate To Win. They Negotiate To Get What They Want. Maybe You’re Too Used To That. Love Is Different. Love Is When You Are As Concerned About Someone Else’s Situation As You Are About Your Own.

The Tension Of Opposites: Life Is A Series Of Pulls Back And Forth. You Want To Do One Thing, But You Are Bound To Do Something Else. Something Hurts You, Yet You Know It Shouldn't. You Take Certain Things For Granted, Even When You Know You Should Never Take Anything For Granted. A Tension Of Opposites, Like A Pull On A Rubber Band. And Most Of Us Live Somewhere In The Middle.
