You can't put feathers on a dog and call it a chicken!
When you allow a person's words to upset you, you're giving away your power.
Life’s a marathon, not a sprint.
You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.
Life's managed, not cured.
If you need a miracle, be a miracle.
Common sense needs to be more common.
It's great if the in-laws themselves put up boundaries. But if they won't; it's up to their grown kids to do it and enforce them.
When I was practicing psychology, I used to tell myself if I ever get to where I'm just doing this for the money or I'm just going through the motions, I'll quit.

I have some wonderful friends from the Mideast that are as red, white and blue as anybody you know, that have been harassed, and I think it's a terrible, terrible thing.

If you've gone into a marriage and you haven't been clear about how you're going to handle money, how you want to raise kids, who is going to work or stay home or what have you, then you've set yourself up for failure.
