Wise Quotes


On Mindsets

"Mindsets are everything, because here's one of the things that happens in every relationship. You meet and you're in this kiss of romance. It's really amazing. You think I have found my soul mate. But the truth is you're all bringing your history. She is bringing her history. You are bringing your history and whatever that history was from your initial family will start to seep into the relationship. And, some people call it after the honeymoon's over, but it really is the day-to-day. Who are you as a person? And how do you relate in the relationship? Did you have a critical parent? And now you've become a critical partner. Are you a critical parent yourself? It's always that history is reflecting in our relationships. So mindset's incredibly important and intentionality is incredibly important. I tell people often in my coaching practice, you have to decide: who do you want to be in this relationship?"
