Which beliefs hold you prisoner to yesterday
and limit your options for designing a great future?

as you can bring to the subject.

should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.

and not about seeking happiness for yourself.

is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

and experience physical and emotional suffering
in ourselves, our family, and our friends.
