Цитаты

quote
Boundaries define us. They define what is me and what is not me. A boundary shows me where I end and someone else begins, leading me to a sense of ownership
-Boundaries
quote
We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change
-Boundaries
quote
Getting to the next level always requires ending something, leaving it behind, and moving on. Growth itself demands that we move on
-Necessary Endings
quote
Without the ability to end things, people stay stuck, never becoming who they are meant to be, never accomplishing all that their talents and abilities should afford them
-Necessary Endings
quote
Self-control is a big deal in human performance. Getting better depends upon it. You cannot get better if it's not you who has to get better
-The Power of the Other
quote
False hope buys us more time to spend on something that is not going to work and keeps us from seeing the reality that is at once our biggest problem and our greatest opportunity
-Necessary Endings
quote
Boundaries are basically about providing structure, and structure is essential in building anything that thrives
-Interview
quote
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. Facing reality is usually not a damaging experience, even though it can hurt
-Boundaries
quote
Even the most gifted people and leaders are subject to feeling conflicted about ending things, so they resist
-Necessary Endings
quote
When we demand love, we destroy it
-Boundaries
