Be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
Be patient with yourself and take heart. Your self-confidence will grow if you seek challenges and worry less about the initial insecurity.
Kindness is never wasted.
Stay open and curious, and realize that the best is yet to come.
With grown children, we can look back at both our mistakes and what we did well in our parenting, having conversations with a greater degree of honesty than was possible before. In getting older themselves, our adult children may begin to comprehend the burdens and strengths we carried from our own parents.
The older we get, the less prone we are to putting off what we really want to do, therefore you will be able to seek out new directions later.
You will find your way. Don't be afraid of getting stuck in some of the necessary compromises. Learn everything you can from each experience, even if something seems irrelevant to your true purpose.
The more we talk about the past, the less we heal from it.
Anyone can be shamed, but feeling guilt requires empathy within.
The question of whether we were misled into the war in Iraq isn't a liberal or conservative or Republican or Democratic question, it's an American one. Protecting the democracy that we ask our sons and daughters to die for is our responsibility and our trust. Demanding accountability from our leaders is our job as citizens. It's the American way. So may the truth win out.
In some cases non-violence requires more militancy than violence.
