"There is only one way that you will find genuine fulfillment in you life and that is to learn to love and accept yourself. With that as a foundation, relationships cease to be traumatic. Perhaps that is because one does not bring such intense expectations to them. When you know how to "be with" yourself it is not so difficult to "be with" another.
Paul Ferrini

To trust that people will love and like us if we are exactly who we are is frightening. But it is the only way we can achieve what we want in relationships. To let go of our need to control others - their opinions, their feelings about us, or the course of the relationship - is the key.
Melody Beattie

There is a magnificent artist in you just waiting to be brought forth. You can reproduce your parent's story, leave the canvas blank, or you can recognize your true identity and create a masterpiece. The life you hold is in your hands.
Mary Manin Morrissey
