Author of quotes: Robin Norwood. Page 2

Self-confident and uncompromising, we are trying to convince yourself that you are the kind of people we want to be.

Suffering, we are comforted by the stories of others whose lives were similar to ours. These stories convince us that we are not alone.

No matter how positive and promising nor were changes, they have been made possible as a result of their experience and their suffering.

The most difficult moments in our lives are a test. As our development the same thing happens with the tests. We go from situations that challenge our physical courage, to situations, experiencing the strength of our moral courage, our individuality, our ability to be honest with ourselves. None of these tests has never been easy.

We tend to remember the hard times longer and with more clarity than the periods of fun and joy. In addition, the hard times much longer. Compare bright elusive, fleeting moments of fun and excitement with seemingly almost endless dark periods of grief or sorrow.

Not the event itself but our perception and attitude to it determines its impact on us - positive or negative.

The search must start with yourself. No love can satisfy us if we do not love ourselves, because, going in search of love with the emptiness inside, we find a new emptiness.

Remember, you can't change others but can change ourselves.

Until we take responsibility for your life and your happiness, we can't become full human beings, but remain dependent and frightened children in the bodies of adults.
