Your Relationships
Never put yourself in the position where someone can do you harm by telling the truth
Being right is a true narcotic
Being absolutely open and honest is the only way to compensate for a poor memory
Only offer advice as often as people ask for it - you won't get many takers
You won't be able to openly share yourself until you are willing to put yourself at risk
If you want your life to run without upsets keep your agreements
Until you openly admit your mistakes, you are doomed to keep repeating them
True liberation comes from taking responsibility
Children don't come from you - they come through you
The ghost of incomplete relationships will haunt you - go back and complete them
Courtesy works - and is contagious
Friendships are like houseplants - they need constant watering to survive
You can't say one thing and do something else people will not believe what you say
Helping is deadly while assisting brings value to people's lives
Love children - save punishment for the issues that can cause them permanent harm
Don't overreact when unpopular issues are brought up
Relationships would improve if both people would state what it would take to make it
If one person admits to the other he was wrong, and the other person rejects him
When your relationships aren't working you bull it through on your own - strange isn't it?
If you really want to be over there, and right now you are over here .....
Whenever you hear yourself say, "it's either him or me" -- remember --it will be you
