Then that is a sign of success in life!"

"A key to relationships is to know the difference between when it is time to hold on and when it is time to let go. The criteria are the degree of joy and satisfaction that the relationship creates. If there are love and truth in the relationship, life will sustain the relationship by itself. If there are not love and truth in the relationship, it will change."

"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take."
Anthony Robbins
