Gratitude Turns What We Have Into Enough.

Sometimes Compromise Is Important. Sometimes It's Better To Give In To Someone Else's Wishes In Order To Have Fun As A Group Or As A Couple, Or For The Benefit Of The Team. Sometimes Compromise Is Dangerous. We Need To Guard Against Compromising Our Standards To Gain The Approval Or Love Of Someone Else. Decide When You Can, And When You Cannot, Compromise. If It's Not Harmful And You Are Ambivalent About A Decision, Then Compromise. If It Could Lead To Breaking Your Values, Compromise Isn't A Good Idea.

Do We Really Have The Right To Take Care Of Ourselves? Do We Really Have The Right To Set Boundaries? Do We Really Have The Right To Be Direct And Say What We Need To Say? You Bet We Do.

Guilt Can Prevent Us From Setting The Boundaries That Would Be In Our Best Interests, And In Other Peoples Best Interests.

Real Power Comes When We Stop Holding Others Responsible For Our Pain, And We Take Responsibility For All Our Feelings.

If We Are Unhappy Without A Relationship, We'll Probably Be Unhappy With One As Well. A Relationship Doesn't Begin Our Life; A Relationship Doesn't Become Our Life. A Relationship Is A Continuation Of Life.
