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
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.

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
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.

When leaders lead in ways that people's brains can follow, good results follow as well.
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.

Be Hard on the issue, Soft on the person.
Henry Cloud
Image
You have to be able to face losing some things you might want in order to be free to do the right thing.
Henry Cloud
Image
Anger is frustration at the fact that we are not God, and do not have control over reality.

The fool tries to adjust the truth so he does not have to adjust to it.
