“I am the owner of my choices. I am the source for the perspectives I choose to hold regardless of how aware I am of why or how I come to possess that particular perspective. It takes courage to look into the mirror of our souls, absent excuses. I will look into that mirror little bits at a time. SEE and ACT. SEE what I can bear to see and ACT upon what I am able. This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.” LooksHeartLittlesI CanSoulAbleChoicesBitsResponsibilityParticularSourcePerspectiveBearsLittle BitMirrorsExcuseCompromiseGentleOwnersInvitationsAbsentPersonal Responsibility Author:Mary Anne Radmacher
“The difference between romantic love and friendship love is that romantic love involves a lot of compromise. It is a very giving type of love.

“Get a job and when you earn a little bit of money, then you can do more good. Then bringing your values doesn't mean you have to compromise yourself.
