Today is Father’s Day and the first without my Dad. It’s odd because even though we were estranged for many years I thought of him often. Now that he’s gone the permanence has settled in. While I know the past can’t be changed I do take solace knowing that I have strived to learn from my mistakes and set a better example for my own kids.

One of the things we do sometimes in the face of very difficult conversations is that we try and make things better. If I share something with you that’s very difficult I’d rather you say “I don’t even know what to say, but I’m just really glad you told me”. The connection is often more important than the solution.

It’s easy to get lost in the negative feelings of a bad relationship. Especially, when the pain is fresh. Keep in mind that anger is a choice, but so is love. One just feels a whole lot better than the other.

The ego is a powerful tool, but it is often clouded by emotion. When activated, focus only on the things you can control and resist the urge to speculate about others thoughts. You’ll be happier for it.

Intimacy in a relationship comes from the ability to lodge a complaint with your partner and not have it met with criticism.

Sometimes we’re so close to a problem that the emotions of the situation will cloud our judgment. In these instances a trusted friend, counselor or business coach can lend a fresh perspective and provide us the clarity needed for growth.
