More quotes by Henry Cloud
Endings are a part of life, and we are actually wired to execute them. But because of trauma, developmental failures, and other reasons, we shy away from the steps that could open up whole new worlds of development and growth.
Henry Cloud
People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy.
Henry Cloud
For someone's character to grow, it has to be free from internal attack. Falling down never stopped children from developing. But getting yelled at, criticized, and put down can stop them for life.
Henry Cloud
To get greater than 100% return on a growth step, give up defensiveness. Defensiveness stifles performance, and destroys relationships.
Henry Cloud
Successful people stick to what they are good at and find ways to make that larger.
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
Boundaries are basically about providing structure, and structure is essential in building anything that thrives.
Henry Cloud
Some goals are not going to fulfill you. Choose goals that you value and care about.
Henry Cloud
Love can only exist where freedom and responsibility are operating.
Henry Cloud
Dating is a place to practice how to relate to other people.
Henry Cloud
Leave your pride, ego, and narcissism somewhere else. Reactions from those parts of you will reinforce your children's most primitive fears.
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 sad thing is that many of us come to Christ because we are sinners, and then spend the rest of our lives trying to pretend that we are not!
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
When a person travels through a few years with an organization, or with a partnership, or any other kind of working association, he leaves a 'wake' behind in these two areas, task and relationship: what did he accomplish and how did he deal with people?
Henry Cloud
When truth presents itself, the wise person see the light, takes it in, and makes adjustments. The fool tries to adjust the truth so he does not have to adjust to it.
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
One of the worst things you can die with is potential.
Henry Cloud
Leadership is not taken, it is given. People give leadership to those that they trust. They allow people that they trust to have influence over their lives.
