discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime's work, but it's worth the effort.

some days, doing "the best we can" may fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect, on any front, and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.

confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. it takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. it takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. it takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.

there's no "should" or "should not" when it comes to having feelings. they're part of who we are and their origins are beyond our control. when we can believe that, we may find it easier to make constructive choices about what to do with those feelings. whatever we choose to imagine can be as private as we want it to be. nobody knows what you're thinking or feeling unless you share it.

yes, no one knows unless you tell them. and often times, the vast majority i don't trust to tell them. they trample on my heart without even knowing. how would i feel if they knew and trampled on me anyways? yeah, i know that too. it feels easier to forgive ignorance, but the blame on myself for never telling than to tell and be used even more completely in the telling.
it gets harder to say i love you every time. it gets harder to jump over the wall even though it was more likely the wall that turned them away.

it's not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life that ultimately nourish our souls. it's the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is firm.

the thing i remember best about successful people i've met through the years is their obvious delight in what they're doing...and it seems to have very little to do with wordly success. they just love what they're doing, and they love it in front of others.

part of the problem with the word "disabilities" is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. but what of people who can't feel? or talk about their feelings? or manage their feelings in constructive ways? what of people who aren't able to form close relationships? and people who cannot find fullfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? these, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.

deep within us-no matter who we are-there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others want to be with. and the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.

love isn't a state of perfect caring. it is an active noun like "struggle." to love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

each generation, in its turn, is a link between all that has gone before and all that comes after. that is true genetically, and it is equally true in the transmission of identity. our parents gave us what they were able to give, and we took what we could of it and made it part of ourselves. if we knew our grandparents, and even great-grandparents, we will have taken from them what they could offer us, too. all that helped to make us who we are. we, in our turn, will offer what we can of ourselves to our children and their offspring.

there's something unique about being a member of a family that really needs you in order to function well. one of the deepest longings a person can have is to feel needed and essential.

what makes the difference between wishing and realizing our wishes? lots of things, and it takes months or years for a wish to come true, but it's far more likely to happen when you care so much about a wish that you'll do all you can to make it happen.

i hope you are proud of yourself for the times you've said, "yes," when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to sombody else.

it's no secret that i like to get to know people- and not just the outside stuff of their lives. i like to try to understand the meaning of who people are and what they're saying to me.
