• Podemos elegir. Podemos vivir en el pasado y ser desgraciados e infelices, o podemos levantarnos y avanzar en la vida. Cuando elegimos centrarnos en el futuro, podemos encontrar la energía y la capacidad para eliminar cualquier obstáculo que parezca estar impidiendo nuestra progresión sin problemas. Si haces balance de ti mismo y descubres que pasas tiempo reviviendo con frecuencia experiencias infelices del pasado, toma la decisión de deshacerte de los lazos que te atan a un modo de vida anterior.

• Love is a choice — not simply, or necessarily, a rational choice, but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guide. Love is a conversion to humanity — a willingness to participate with others in the healing of a broken world and broken lives. Love is the choice to experience life as a member of the human family, a partner in the dance of life.
