A leader's responsibility is to cause a vision and mission to have tangible results in the real world.
Henry Cloud
Image
Independence is not an option for us. Remember, God existed without us.
Henry Cloud
Image
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.
Henry Cloud
Image
When leaders lead in ways that people's brains can follow, good results follow as well.
Henry Cloud
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To get greater than 100% return on a growth step, give up defensiveness. Defensiveness stifles performance, and destroys relationships.
Henry Cloud
Image
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.

That is why success and fruitfulness depend as much upon focusing on the who you are as much as the what of the work you do. Invest in your character, and it will give you the returns that you are looking for by only investing in the work itself. You can't do the latter without the former.
Henry Cloud
Image
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
Image
Anger is frustration at the fact that we are not God, and do not have control over reality.
Henry Cloud
Image
Leave your pride, ego, and narcissism somewhere else. Reactions from those parts of you will reinforce your children's most primitive fears.
Henry Cloud
Image
People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy.
Henry Cloud
Image
True intimacy is only build around the freedom to disagree.
Henry Cloud
Image
A good test of a relationship is how a person responds to the word 'no.' Love respects 'no,' control does not.
Henry Cloud
Image
One of the worst things you can die with is potential.
Henry Cloud
Image
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
Image
Dating should be a part of your life, not your life a part of dating. There is more to life than finding a date.

Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.
