Almost all highly successful people say that there is no success without sacrifice. This is totally true, but one day your sacrifices can make you an unhappy person. Thoughtless sacrifices can break your reputation, ruin valuable relationships, steal your health, life energy, time, and money.

A baby is born as the most helpless of God’s creations but a mother nurtures the baby through all stages of life; infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood.

Love has no judgment, no agenda, no bias, and no bigotry. Love is love without a concrete definition. It lets go of boundaries, walls, and inhibitions. It is effortless. In relationships it does require work, but it’s just a rhythmic dance of ease and grace. Unfortunately, when it isn’t an easy dance, the relationship ends disastrously.
