You Can't Put Feathers On A Dog

Why Do So Many Marriages Fail? Because Nobody Gets Taught How To Be Married. We're Not Taught How To Pick A Mate, Or Why To Pick A Mate; We Don't Know How To Manage Our Emotions Once We're In A Marriage; We Don't Know How To Resolve Marital Conflict. Married People Have Never Been Taught Why They Or Their Spouses Feel The Way They Do And Act The Way They Do. Nobody Has Ever Taught Us The Fundamentals.

Be Your Authentic Self. Your Authentic Self Is Who You Are When You Have No Fear Of Judgment, Or Before The World Starts Pushing You Around And Telling You Who You're Supposed To Be. Your Fictional Self Is Who You Are When You Have A Social Mask On To Please Everyone Else. Give Yourself Permission To Be Your Authentic Self.

Every One Of Us Have Things That We Believe About Ourselves When Nobody Else Is Looking, Nobody Else Is Listening, Nobody Else Is Monitoring What We're Doing. We Believe Things About Ourselves.

At This Very Moment, You May Be Saying To Yourself That You Have Any Number Of Admirable Qualities. You Are A Loyal Friend, A Caring Person, Someone Who Is Smart, Dependable, Fun To Be Around. That's Wonderful, And I'm Happy For You, But Let Me Ask You This: Are You Being Any Of Those Things To Yourself?

Eighty Percent Of All Choices Are Based On Fear. Most People Don't Choose What They Want; They Choose What They Think Is Safe.
