Because not every relationship is to be discarded.” “We have to believe in who we’re becoming.” “People don’t have to be in relationship with you after you’ve offended them.” “The confidence I have now is practiced.” “I can live with not knowing, and it’s much harder to live with blaming myself.” “We have to get into the practice of understanding that our job in this relationship is not to control it, it’s not to change the culture, it is to be in community with people…” “We have to look at the intensity of our emotions because the intensity tells us there may be some history to what is happening.” “‘Just how we are’ could be dysfunctional. What's normal doesn’t mean it’s natural, it’s healthy, it’s the way things should be. Normal can be chaos, normal can be a high level of dysfunction.” “Sometimes with family it’s almost as if there’s an expectation of you lowering your expectations.” “It’s not about changing everyone else and how they show up with you, it's about changing you and how you show up with them.” Follow Nedra Glover Tawwab: Website: https://www.nedratawwab.com/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nedratawwab/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nedratawwab/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/nedratawwab/_created/
