“Placing our attention on providing consistent appreciation, approval, and applause to those we love not only focuses their energy on the good things about themselves but also teaches them to return the favor to us.”
Sue Patton Thoele, The Courage to Be a Stepmom: Finding Your Place Without Losing Yourself

“You know not what you are capable of doing; you cannot sound the ocean of thought within you. You must labor, keep at it, and dig deep and long before you will begin to realize much. Be inactive - mourn because you were not created a giant in intellect, and you will die a fool.”
L. G. Abell, A Mother's Book of Traditional Household Skills

“Worry is a habit that shatters our peace of mind and needlessly drains our energy, a form of mental masturbation without any benefits.”
Sue Patton Thoele, The Courage to Be a Stepmom: Finding Your Place Without Losing Yourself

“An ordinary intellect will, by industry and perseverance, often accomplish more than a much superior one, deficient in energy and the power of endurance.”
L. G. Abell, A Mother's Book of Traditional Household Skills

“Pausing gives us the opportunity to arrive at an internal place from which we can choose wisely what needs to be done or said, and then do so gently.”
Sue Patton Thoele, The Courage to Be a Stepmom: Finding Your Place Without Losing Yourself
