“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” ― William Shakespeare , Twelfth Night "A person who is said to possess greatness stands apart from others in some way, usually by the size or originality of their vision and their ability to manifest that vision. And yet those who recognize that greatness, whether they display it themselves or not, also have greatness within them; otherwise, they could not see it in another. In many ways, the achievements of one person always belong to many people for we accomplish nothing alone in this world. People who display greatness rely upon others who are able to see as they do, to listen, encourage, and support. Without those people who recognize greatness and move in to support it, even the greatest ideas, works of art, and political movements would remain unborn. We are all moved by greatness when we see it, and although the ...

Knowing when to end a relationship and acknowledging that the pain will pass can often prevent greater pain in the long run. Just as a good relationship can have a positive impact on your life, stressful, draining, or imbalanced relationships can have negative effects on your health and well-being. It’s common to maintain a relationship because we feel the other person needs us or we believe that they will eventually change. We may also be afraid of hurting the other person or feel insecure in our ability to find new relationships. But knowing when to end a relationship and acknowledging that the pain will pass can often prevent greater pain and feelings of loss in the long run. If you’re in a relationship that isn’t satisfying or one that has become unhealthy for you, rather than spending energy attempting to fix the problem or complaining, ask yourself what you really want from the relationship. Consider whether the other person truly considers your feelings or if they are willin...

Tolerance does not require that we embrace all of the ideologies and lifestyle choices we encounter in our dealings with others. Indeed, tolerating alternate viewpoints is a matter of acceptance rather than acquiescence. We understand that the beliefs and opinions that add value to our experiences will not necessarily benefit others in the same way, and we respect their right to choose their own paths in life. When asked to explain our ideals, we may expound upon the thoughts and feelings that have inspired us to adopt a certain viewpoint, but we will not lecture or cajole those who believe differently in an effort to change their minds. Our acceptance can then encourage others to be similarly broadminded in their own spheres of influence. In Road To Tolerance, The: The Philosophy Of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy its creator and chief advocate, Albert Ellis, explains at length the principles underlying this therapeutic approach and shows how beneficial it can be, not only for th...

"Vous savez que l'amour est vrai et puissant si et seulement si au lieu des problèmes il donne des réponses. Au lieu de la peur il procure un sentiment de sécurité. Au lieu des doutes il invite à la confiance. Un tel amour est à chérir. Quand vous le trouvez, agrippez-vous comme à un gilet de sauvetage.
