One of the worst things you can die with is potential.

Be Hard on the issue, Soft on the person.

People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy.
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
Spouses in healthy relationships cherish each other's space and are champions of each other's causes.
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
Image
Love can only exist where freedom and responsibility are operating.
Henry Cloud
Image
The amount of truth a relationship can handle is proportional to the amount of perceived love that's present.
Henry Cloud
Image
Dating is about finding out who you are and who others are. If you show up in a masquerade outfit, neither is going to happen.
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
To get greater than 100% return on a growth step, give up defensiveness. Defensiveness stifles performance, and destroys relationships.
Henry Cloud
Image
In the end, as a leader, you are always going to get a combination of two things: what you create and what you allow.
