Quotes: "We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. Consequences often give us the pain that we need to become motivated enough to change." "The extent to which two people in a relationship can bring up and resolve issues is a critical marker of the strength of that relationship." "People have to realize there is a big difference between hurt and harm. We all hurt sometimes in facing hard truths, but it makes us grow. It can be the source of huge growth. That is not harmful. Harm is when you damage someone else. Facing reality is usually not a damaging experience, even though it can hurt."
