Did you Learn to Let Go?

 In the end these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you love?
How deeply did you learn to let go?

Buddha

How do you make others feel?

 I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
 

Maya Angelou

Throw Something Back

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

Goodbye, Jack

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

All my very best,

Jack Layton

Worrying Gets You Nowhere

Listening is a Creative Force

 

“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are constantly being re-created.”

Brenda Ueland

Listening for Success

 

“Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.”

Bernard m. Baruch

Being Listened To

 “Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker. When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand.”

Sue Patton Thoele

To Listen is to Love
