“If you are without contention and still have the ability to make people think, their ego is going to take a hit and as a result they're not going to like you. They don't want to think. They want to be right, unrivaled or entertained.”

“The Anatomy of Conflict:
If there is no communication then there is no respect. If there is no respect then there is no caring. If there is no caring then there is no understanding. If there is no understanding then there is no compassion. If there is no compassion then there is no empathy. If there is no empathy then there is no forgiveness. If there is no forgiveness then there is no kindness. If there is no kindness then there is no honesty. If there is no honesty then there is no love. If there is no love then God doesn't reside there. If God doesn't reside there then there is no peace. If there is no peace then there is no happiness. If there is no happiness ----then there IS CONFLICT BECAUSE THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION!”

“Take a minute to appreciate all the good things about yourself, and to be grateful for all the blessings in your life. Talk less, and when you do talk have noble conversations. Live, love and be free.”

“Let Love Move You...
If you can’t stop thinking of her, it’s because her essence has left an imprint on your heart… on your soul...
Don’t be afraid of this feeling; be nourished by it...
Let it stir your entire being…
Let it help release your greatest self...
Let it inspire you to be loving… to be respectful… to be romantic… to be intelligent… to be passionate… to be a good listener… to be appreciative…
Let this wonderful feeling move you to become a passionate love maker… a ravenous seducer...
Do not be afraid of this deep love! Let it reveal the best of you…
Let this feeling encourage you to behave in an honest and sincere manner…
So that you may be more than a person she would settle for… so that you may be a person she would yearn for.”
