ACCEPTING DIFFERENCES

Accepting Differences

In any relationship there will be times
when you do not agree with your partner.

The question is: how well
do you handle your disagreements?

Is there room in your relationship
for both of you to have differing opinions,
as well as interests and activities that you don’t share?

A relationship that requires total agreement and sharing,
is an unrealistic one.

That is far too much to expect
from any relationship.

THREE TIMES IS A DECISION

ENABLED BY FREEDOM

Enabled by Freedom

Freedom gives us the opportunity to succeed, and also to fail. Freedom allows us to make our own way in life, and insists that we accept responsibility for doing so.

Freedom and responsibility simply cannot exist apart from each other. You can remain free only by being fully responsible for your life, your actions, and your role in a free society.

Though millions have died for it, and most would choose freedom over any alternative, freedom can at times be frightening. It often imposes difficult decisions, and requires valiant effort to maintain.

Though freedom is the best course, it is seldom the easiest. Yet freedom is worth the effort, for it is a human catalyst that has no equal.

The best way to celebrate freedom is to use it wisely. The best way to protect freedom is to make sure as many people as possible benefit from it.

Freedom enables you to do great things. Today, and every day, take freedom up on the offer.


— Ralph Marston

PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE

Regardless of what challenge you are facing right now, know that it has not come to stay. It has come to pass. During these times, do what you can with what you have, and ask for help if needed. Most importantly ~ never surrender. Put things in perspective. Take care of yourself. Find ways to replenish your energy, strengthen your faith, and fortify yourself from the inside out.

There is a power in you that is stronger than anything that you are facing. Go within. Tap into this power. Know that you will find courage, strength and resolve to go through any valley experiences. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!
