And he said just what I always tell my kids: find someone you love so much that their happiness and success matter more to you than your own. AND--here's often the sticking point, vice versa. Find someone who cares more about you realizing your potential than they do about their own.<BR/>Perhaps that's asking too much. But then it might happen more often if that's what people were seeking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306491903311869968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-9775264859595941452008-07-27T11:35:00.000-04:002008-07-27T11:35:00.000-04:00Courageous.
