“Nothing will be enough until I am enough.” (Unknown)

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source…”Anais Nin

“Try to not let yesterday use up today.” (Unknown)

“No one can shame me without my consent.” (Eleanor Roosevelt paraphrase)

You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

No matter how much you care, some people just don’t or can’t care back.

You can break free of old patterns and experience real and satisfying alternatives even if you or others in your life don’t think you can.

Basic Package for Coping

Peter G. Ossorio, Ph.D. 

Presented as a poem by Mary K. Roberts, Ph.D.

You can only get certain things from certain things.

If you want something, go to where you can get it,
not to where you aren’t going to get it.

You have to respect what’s there in order to get out of it
what there is to be gotten out of it.

You run into trouble if you try to make things what they’re not.
You won’t get what there is there.

If you adjust to what’s there
Then you can work with it successfully.
