Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something's time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings.

A leader's responsibility is to cause a vision and mission to have tangible results in the real world.
Henry Cloud
Good pain is pain in the service of a purpose. Bad pain is pain endured because we are resisting a needed growth step.
Henry Cloud
The physicality of a real relationship - one that encompasses mind, body and soul - ultimately makes it more fulfilling and powerful than any virtual relationship ever could be.
Henry Cloud
The amount of truth a relationship can handle is proportional to the amount of perceived love that's present.
Henry Cloud
A person who hasn't grieved a significant loss has unfinished business inside and can cause others great grief as a result.
Henry Cloud
Because dating is a human exercise, it can be a tightrope fraught with danger. You will be dating imperfect people, and some of them are more imperfect than others. In addition, you are not perfect either, so that complicates the picture.
Henry Cloud
If you continue to blame other people for “making” you feel guilty, they still have power over you, and you are saying that you will only feel good when they stop doing that. You are giving them control over your life. Stop blaming other people.
Henry Cloud
The business of church is ultimately people. You're trying to heal people, grow people, teach people, and mend people. And when leaders spend all of their time helping and growing other people, they ignore their own growth.
Henry Cloud
Faith goes beyond reason. It goes beyond what you can see. But it is as real as anything you can touch or feel.
Henry Cloud
When leaders lead in ways that people's brains can follow, good results follow as well.
Henry Cloud
It’s scary to realize that the only thing holding our friends to us isn’t our performance, or our lovability, or their guilt, or their obligation. The only thing that will keep them calling, spending time with us, and putting up with us is love. And that’s the one thing we can’t control.
Henry Cloud
Marriage is not slavery. It is based on a love relationship deeply rooted in freedom. Each partner is free from the other and therefore free to love the other. Where there is control, or perception of control, there is not love. Love only exists where there is freedom.
Henry Cloud
Oftentimes, churches are started by an entrepreneurial church plant visionary whom everybody follows, but he's not following anybody. Even though he's accountable to a board, he's really not. Authority's a good thing, and if it's not forced upon you as a leader, then I suggest, strongly, that you go buy some.
Henry Cloud
Boundaries are basically about providing structure, and structure is essential in building anything that thrives.
Henry Cloud
When you encourage someone, it literally changes their brain chemistry to be able to perform... sends fuel to the brain.
Henry Cloud
The fool tries to adjust the truth so he does not have to adjust to it.
Henry Cloud
If your boundary training consists only of words, you are wasting your breath. But if you 'do' boundaries with your kids, they internalize the experiences, remember them, digest them, and make them part of how they see reality.
Henry Cloud
Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.
Henry Cloud
The mature person meets the demands of life, while the immature person demands that life meet her demands.
Henry Cloud
People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy.
