"That's right," he reaffirmed. "And we have three children we're really concerned about. What do you suggest?"
"love her," I replied.
"I told you, the feeling just isn't there anymore."
"Love her."
"You don't understand. the feeling of love just isn't there."
"Then love her. If the feeling isn't there, that's a good reason to love her."
"But how do you love when you don't love?"
"My friend , love is a verb. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?”

“Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice.”

“Habit is the intersection of knowledge (what to do), skill (how to do), and desire (want to do).”

“Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is the fruit of love the verb or our loving actions. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her.”

“At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn't believe in yourself.”

“The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person.”

“Courage isn't absenct of fear, it is the awareness that something else is important”
