The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. That unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. Whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.
Call them rules or call them limits, good ones, I believe, have this in common: they serve reasonable purposes; they are practical and within a child's capability; they are consistent; and they are an expression of loving concern.
In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.
If it's mentionable, it's manageable.
Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others.
I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.
What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What really matters is helping others win too. Even if it means slowing down and changing our course now and then.
We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.
There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being
We speak with more than our mouths. We listen with more than our ears.
Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.
All I know to do is to light the candle that has been given to me.
You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
