Doubting what you see is a very odd experience. And doubting what you remember is a little less odd than doubting what you see.

Mandira Bedi

When my husband turned 40, I was obsessed. 'Has he had his medical checkup?' He needed to go to the doctor; he needed to go to the dentist. Any little cough, I was really on him. Then he turned 40, and I thought, 'Maybe that's why I've been so obsessed with his health!'

Cate Blanchett

Since true listening involves a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the others. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will feel less and less vulnerable, and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the dance of love is begun again.

M. Scott Peck

Real change happens when you feel genuinely inspired, turned on by possibility and unwilling to settle for anything less.

Debbie Ford
