Never settle for someone - or allow someone to settle for you.

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend". We never appreciate how important old
friends are until we are older. The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are
young. We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age when a busy life and changing geographies can cause us to neglect those friends. Today is the day to invest in those people we hope will call us 'old friend" in the years to come.

Find what satisfies someone and you have a deeper way to motivate them.

We can't choose who we fall in love with, just what we do about it... And as struggles often go between one's head & heart, it's easier to follow the path of least resistance.
