Listening is a high art of loving. Ask yourself, “When was the last time I really listened to my child? My parent? My brother or sister?” When someone is ready to share, three magic words amplify your connection, and they are: “Tell me more”.
—Mary Manin Morrissey
Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?
—Mary Manin Morrissey
Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
