More quotes by Henry Cloud
There is a big difference between hurt and harm. We all hurt sometimes in facing hard truths, but it makes us grow. It can be the source of huge growth. That is not harmful. Harm is when you damage someone. Facing reality is usually not a damaging experience, even though it can hurt.
Henry Cloud
When leaders lead in ways that people's brains can follow, good results follow as well.
Henry Cloud
Spouses in healthy relationships cherish each other's space and are champions of each other's causes.
Henry Cloud
We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.

Henry Cloud
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.
Henry Cloud
Some goals are not going to fulfill you. Choose goals that you value and care about.
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
We need rest not just so we feel better. We need rest for actual creation of what we're going to need the next day.
Henry Cloud
He is the Truth, and He wants us to deal in truth with ourselves and our loved ones. We want the truth about you and your family to flood into and overrun the secrets that keep you in bondage to dysfunctional behavior and relationships
Henry Cloud
Dating is primarily a numbers game.... People usually go through a lot of people to find good relationships. That's just the way it is.
Henry Cloud
A leader's responsibility is to cause a vision and mission to have tangible results in the real world.
Henry Cloud
There's no better way to become a disintegrated character than to be your own authority.
Henry Cloud
To get greater than 100% return on a growth step, give up defensiveness. Defensiveness stifles performance, and destroys relationships.
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?
