What To Teach Our Children

I have never understood the importance of having children memorize battle dates. It seems like such a waste of mental energy.

Instead, we could teach them important subjects such as How the Mind Works, How to Handle Finances, How to Invest Money for Financial Security, How to be a Parent, How to Create Good Relationships, and How to Create and Maintain Self-Esteem and Self-Worth. Read more

Mistakes

It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment.

Our greatest competition

Our greatest competition isn't other people; rather, it's not appreciating our blessings. It's not taking responsibility for our shortcomings. It's not doing the work and making the sacrifices needed to experience what we want. It's not understanding that great fulfillment lies in learning, giving, and loving. Read more

 

Most Basic Emotional Need

Our most basic emotional need is not to fall in love but to be genuinely loved by another, to know a love that grows out of reason and choice, not instinct. I need to be loved by someone who chooses to love me, who sees in me something worth loving.

The Right to Say I Love You

It should be a privilege to be able to say "I love you" to someone. It shouldn't be something people say just because they feel like it. A privilege that is earned. They say you have to earn the right to be loved; no, love is unconditional, if you love someone, they don't have to earn it. But. The right to tell someone that you love them? That has to be earned. You have to earn the right to be believed.
