In general...
You have the power to change. No one else can do it for you
The main difference between those who succeed in life and those who fail is the knowledge of how to get back up
Joy begins to last when we experience that our happiness is not dependant on outer circumstances
Everything you are being, you are being because you choose to be
Material success can only make you happy if you are already happy
When you are not afraid to die, you are not afraid to live
Heaven is nowhere...unless it's now here!
What you persist restists... and what you look at will disappear
You are a Human Being, not a Human Doing
The most important question is: what do I choose NOW
Life is pointless

If life had a point, who would assign it one?
Life has no point, and that's life's greatest gift.

we get to write.

All change is creation
You are that which creates

On relationships....
Men are motivated and empowered when they feel needed...
Women are empowered and motivated
when they feel cherished.
Just as a man is fulfilled through working out the intricate details of solving a problem,
a woman is fulfilled through talking about the details of the problem.
We mistakenly assume that if our partner loves us, they will react  in certain ways - the way we react and behave when we love someone
A man's deepest fear is that he is not good enough or that he is incompetent.

It's OK to make mistakes
When a man is silent, it's easy for a woman to imagine the worse
It's difficult for a man to differenciate between sympathy and empathy.
He hates to be pitied
Men argue for the right to be free while women argue for the right to be upset.
Men want space while women want understanding.
In relationships, men pull back and get close, while women rise and fall in their ability to love themselves and others
A man commonly makes the mistake of thinking that once he has met all of a woman's primary love needs, and she feels happy and secure, that she should know from then on that
she is loved.
The secret of empowering a man is never to try to change him or improve him
The best way to let a man grow is to let go of trying to change him in anyway
The biggest challenge for a woman is correctly to interprete and suport a man when he isn't talking
The most common way women unknowingly stars arguements is by not being direct when they share their feelings
Men are more prone to argue when they have made a mistake or upset the woman they love.
Love is a decision, not a reaction
I chose to love you
" When we chose to love someone we are often in for a big surprise.  We discover that the feeling we had hoped to get from being in love with the other person is generated over here, and simply come to us, from us, around that other person, almost like a planet flies around the sun, and then comes back to the other side in the heavens. It's that boomerang effect. And the great illusion is broken at last. The illusion being, of course, that the feeling of magic and wonderment, and that specialness, that I am looking for in relationships is coming from the other person. In truth it was always coming from here. And when I send it over, and do so quite deliberately, it has no choice but to come back over here. "
"It will work... even for evermore, but the way it's working may be different from the way you think it's supposed to work. "
"Have some ideas of what you're looking for. But notice that sometimes goodness will come to you in packages that are quite unexpected. Do not disallow, or render ineligible, those incoming energies. Because you're liable to find out that what you're looking for is right under your nose, and you haven't seen it because your eyes weren't open."
