On taking things personally
“Spend today interpreting whatever people do in the most generous way. See if you feel better as a result.” - James Clear
On emotional needs
“Love makes a good relationship a dream and a bad relationship a nightmare. Love does not fix a relationship—it amplifies what’s already there.” - Mark Manson
On integrity
“The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word. It sounds very simple, but it is very, very powerful. […] It is through the word that you manifest everything.” - Don Miguel Ruiz
On curiosity
“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.” ― Roy T. Bennett

On paying attention
Eyes up and pay attention so that you don’t miss chances for real connection.
