"By the time most of us are adult, we've learned to mask our true feelings - at least as they show up in our face - because we have to get along at work, at home, and in social settings. So we pretend to be interested, we pretend to smile, we assume a bland expression when we're actually peeved, and so on.
Of course, we're not perfect at these polite deceptions. We don't always manage to stifle that yawn completely. But for the most part, the face we present to the world is a polite mask that hides our true feelings....
But the face does sometimes give away our strongest feelings."

"Sometimes choices are made in the name of forgiveness while what is occurring isn't forgiveness at all. It is important not to confuse being forgiving with denying your own feelings, needs, and desires. Forgiving doesn't mean being passive and staying in a job or a relationship that clearly doesn't work for you or is abusive. It is important that you are clear about your boundaries. What is acceptable for you? If you are willing to allow unacceptable behavior again and again in the name of 'forgiveness,' you are more than likely using 'forgiveness' as an excuse not to take responsibility for taking care of yourself or as a way to avoid making changes."

"Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn't permanent."
