On Relationships and Love
What I know for sure about love…
Love is an impersonal and powerful force in the universe that teaches each of us EXACTLY what we need to learn in order to
grow and expand in this lifetime (if we will only let it!). Gail Faris MFT
What I have
Learned from Love….I have learned humility….truly
loving someone is really about learning to love one’s imperfect self. Gail Faris MFT
What love has taught me…Love has taught me to open my heart more and more with each new love I
have encountered. Perhaps it’s about taking more of myself into my heart over time. Gail

The most important ingredient we put into
any relationship is not what we say
or what we do, but what we are. Stephen
R. Covey
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most
people enter a relationship in order
to get something. They're trying
to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality,
the only way a relationship will last
is if you see your relationship as a
place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. Anthony
Robbins
When
you struggle with your partner, you are struggling with yourself. Every fault you see in them touches a denied weakness in
yourself. Deepak Chopra
The
value of a relationship is in direct proportion to the time that you invest in the relationship.
Brian Tracy
A deadness occurs in relationships when people are no longer
willing to tell each other how they really feel. Shakti Gawain
Before
you try to change others, remember how hard it is to change yourself. Bill Bluestein
Everyone
and everything around you is your teacher. Ken Keyes, Jr.
It's
surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined
by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.
Sidney J. Harris
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within
yourself that you have built against it. Rumi
The differnce between acceptance and withdrawal is resentment. Terrence

Insist on yourself. Never imitate. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they
wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. Anais Nin
There came a time when the risk to
remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. Eleanor Roosevelt
I cannot say whether things will get
better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better. Georg E. Lichtenstein
