William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
...humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I have for them not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image.
William P. Young
You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.

I often find that getting head issues out of the way first makes the heart stuff easier to work on later.
William P. Young
Transformation without work and pain, without suffering, without a sense of loss is just an illusion of true change.
William P. Young
It is so easy to get sucked into the if-only game, and playing it is a short and slippery slide into despair.
William P. Young
The world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if women ruled. There would have been fewer children sacrificed to the gods of greed and power.
