In the long run, we shape our lives,

And we shape ourselves.
The process never ends until we die.
And the choices we make are ultimately

Our own responsibility.
- Eleanor Roosevelt

Ingratitude often hides behind a mask

Of independence or self-sufficiency.
An assertion of being "self-made"

Is a rejection of God, one's ancestors,

And society. Your Genes, Place of Birth,

And Upbringing is God's Gift to You.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Listening is such a simple act.

It requires us to be present,

And that takes practice,

But we don’t have to do anything else.

We don’t have to advise, or coach,

Or sound wise.

We just have to be willing to sit there

And listen.

- Margaret J. Wheatley
