What motivates you?

Perfection is not found in the result; it’s found in the motivation. When the motivation is love, the result is! … More

Always right can’t be right or happy …

If you’re in a relationship and you think you’re always right, you’re probably wrong. But if you’re right, go find somebody you can learn from … unless it’s more important to you to be right than happy.… More

This above all …

You don’t have to make babies; but if you want to keep your relationship dripping with life, keep growing … and help your partner grow. How? Stimulate the buds that lie dormant, risk “failure” for growth, live regardless of the consequences, trust life; and give your partner a safe place to reveal the “private” parts of his authentic self, to learn, to aim high, to miss, and try again.
