but with what it is still possible for you to do.

than when we have nothing and want some.
We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than
when we seem to lack but one thing.

focus on the good aspects of your relationship

Love Without Judgement


Know the power and the peace of saying,
"I love you just the way you are."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Love is granting another the space to be
the way they are and the way they are not.
- Werner Erhard

Love is saying "I feel differently," instead of "You're wrong."
- Anonymous

Love is the absence of judgment.
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

We all hate it when someone tells us we're wrong. "Them's fightin' words." So we end up hating the person who said that we were wrong.

There are two great reasons for never saying, "You're wrong," to someone you love...

First, it opens the door to anger and hatred. Why do that to someone you love?

Second, virtually everything is a matter of perspective and opinion. Whether the subject is politics, religion, sex, the kids' homework, or anything else, there really isn't a "right" way, just the way you prefer.

Your Own Lingering Anger Can Destroy You

For every minute you remain angry,
you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Anger is often more hurtful than the injury that caused it.
- English Proverb

He who angers you conquers you.
- Elizabeth Kenny

You cannot hate other people without hating yourself.
- Oprah Winfrey

Being angry harms your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
You create stress in your life by getting angry,
and you can instantly remove
that stress by granting forgiveness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else;
you are the one who gets burned.
- The Buddha
