“When you deny someone the opportunity to help you, you deny them joy in life.”

“Every human interaction, every relationship is an opportunity to provide for one another, to provide time, energy, resources, hope, love, compassion, or grace. There is no limit to what we can provide for others, or what others can provide for us.”

“Our pursuit of one another requires sacrifice. The effort we both choose to put into our relationship is indicative of the value we place on one another. We've both seen friendships and marriages fall apart, and every time there's been a lack of true commitment -- where one or both individuals no longer puts in the effort, no longer values the relationship, no longer pursues the other person.
As adults it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that we must pursue one another, even when it gets in the way of our own priorities. We can tell people how much we love them, how much they mean to us, but this means nothing if we don't pursue them. We have to pick up the phone, make time to be together, get in a car and make the drive, or hop on a plane and fly across the country. Like it or not, we are what we DO, not what we say we will do.”
