Quote by Steve Maraboli

“Like all living things, relationships thrive when nourished. Whether friendship, family, or intimate relationships, it’s so important to do more than just speak… but to connect. Healthy connection is the heartbeat of a relationship. Let’s sit with those in our circle and create a space where we can lay down our burdens without fear of judgment, and where our victories are celebrated with genuine joy. This level of communication and connection build the bridge that carries trust, empathy, and love across the seasons of life. Life doesn’t have to be carried alone. When nurtured with kindness, openness, and respect, our friendships and relationships can become a sanctuary for the soul.”

But if ten of us manage to kill billionaires those ten will be remembered forever. Our poverty will become history. Wealth is impersonal but we will make it personal again.”

“Holly's voice was filled with exasperation as she continued, "All because of their extremism, I have to suffer—I might go to jail and lose my life.” She shook her head and looked at the baby booties. “It's not fair, Juan. I don't practice their version of Christianity. I love Jesus, always have, and am Pro-life unless the mother's in danger or it’s something like rape. But this, these laws, they get to force me into their weird, cruel version of Christianity---that Jesus himself would hate. I did nothing wrong, yet I mean, who do they think they are? This whole thing should be between the mother and God, not the mother, the government, and God! It’s like our government thinks that they need to play God and be the judge, and push him off his throne.” Her voice grew louder, and Juan walked in and sat on the bed, knowing she needed comfort. Her inner volcano was about to spew. “And by the way, how many children, babies, and unborn babies did God kill in the Old Testament? A lot! So I'm pretty sure he'd be okay with having common sense on the issue of abortion.”

“I started to say, So then, what about the bracelet? but I could see he'd already given his answer, and it caused a kind of sorrow to rise in me that felt fresh and tender and had nothing, really, to do with the bracelet. I think now it was sorrow for the sound of his fork scraping the plate, the way it swelled in the distance between us, how I was not even in the room.”
