| If you believe that something is impossible, you have already made it so.
I wonder how often it is just this, that is the source of all the failures in our lives.

| Sanity may be madness but the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.

| Do you know what you want?
Can you sit down and write down a list of the things that drive you?
Or do you live with just this feeling that you're missing something, but can't figure out what it might be?
I want...
I want a woman who isn't afraid of herself, who isn't afraid to explore her own desires, that will be willing to explore mine, that will give me her trust and allow me to trust her, one who isn't afraid to learn, who enjoys an evening of discussion as easily as an evening of passion, and thinks there isn't any real difference between them... I want a woman who can match me, mind to mind, heart to heart and passion to passion... Is that too much to ask?

| I've been pondering my views on relationships.
How they form, why they last, why they don't.
When I was younger I had all these ideas about how a relationship should be... heck, I know people my age and older that still think that way. But from what I've seen and lived through some things have become more clear for me. The true, lasting, aspect of a relationship that can last through a lifetime is acceptance.
I look back at the reasons why my past relationships have failed, and those of the people I know, and it's clear that what drove people apart were the differences between them. It hasn't been because they don't agree in things, it's because they won't allow there to be disagreement. It's as if the two don't agree on every aspect of the relationship it has already failed.
But the truth is, no two people will ever agree with each other on every subject. And if the agreement is all that keeps them together then it's no womder that they start pushing each other away and closing their minds to other ideas and thoughts. We turn those differing ideas into weapons we use to try and force the other to conform to our will and it's no wonder they fight back. Or, more often I think, pull away.
To me it comes back to something I told my father several years ago...
It takes two people, working together, to make a relationship work. But it only takes one to destroy it.
I accept you... just as you are, knowing that we will never be exactly the same, in thought,dreams or action, but can you accept me?
I am willing to explore what makes us different and find new ways for us to share ourselves.
I am willing to go beyond what I thought were my boundaries and see what you have to offer.
Can you choose to do the same?
Or are you already so locked within your beliefs that you can never accept what might be given by those who choose to accept you?
Do I dare dream... or should I lock this all away, once more?
I can't read minds...

| One of the greatest ironies of life is that most people, even nearly all, never find out what they are truly capable of.
It's one thing to imagine what one might do, 'tis entirely another to be faced with the reality and have to act.
