thinking people silence
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are....Ten seconds of silence.
children caring unique
As different as we are from one another, as unique as each one of us is, we are much more the same than we are different. That may be the most essential message of all, as we help our children grow toward being caring, compassionate, and charitable adults.
ideas way accepting
I've often hesitated in beginning a project because I've thought, 'It'll never turn out to be even remotely like the good idea I have as I start.' I could just 'feel' how good it could be. but I decided that, for the present, I would create the best way I know how and accept the ambiguities.
thinking people insecurity
What do you think it is that drives people to want far more than they could ever use or need? I frankly think it's insecurity. How do we let the world know that the trappings of this life are not the things that are ultimately important for being accepted?
special
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being
life sad giving-up
How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.
feel-good feelings able
Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others.
different able investment
Anyone who has ever been able to sustain good work has had at least one person--and often many--who have believed in him or her. We just don't get to be competent human beings without a lot of different investments from others.
looks feels knows
You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.
strong lovely way
When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong with the fearful, the true mixed in with the façade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way.
confused love-is people
We need to help people to discover the true meaning of love. Love is generally confused with dependence. Those of us who have grown in true love know that we can love only in proportion to our capacity for independence.
children thinking self
I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.
perfect giving littles
Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we are not perfect.
choices want needs
You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
