    “In a relationship, sometimes taking—allowing the other person to do something for you, rather than insisting on doing it yourself—is also a kind of giving.  The same applies in friendships or business relationships.  True generosity includes enabling others to be generous.” ~ John Leland, Happiness is a Choice You Make (Page 60)

      “No one finds a match so perfect that the need for continued attention and work vanishes (and, besides, if you found the perfect person, he or she would run away from ever-so-imperfect you in justifiable horror).  In truth, what you need—what you deserve, after all—is someone exactly as imperfect as you.” ~ Jordan Peterson, via 12 Rules for Life (Page 273)

        “You can inspire, influence, help, support, advise, and love others.  But you can’t control how any of it is received or understood.  You have no say over what gets internalized, what gets triggered, or how the other person will react.  Your work is to offer your best; their work is to receive it as best they can.” ~ Emily Maroutian
