“Ordinarily, the only person whom we really love, who touches our very roots, has the capacity to drive us crazy, and it may be only this person who has the capacity to help us find our deepest strenghts.” ~ Augustus Y. Napier, Ph.D.
This statement causes ripples of terror in my being. Knowing that we are truly at the mercy of the people whom we love, be they self-centred or people-centred. For good or for worse, we do really submit to them and either be hurt by them, or have them discover our strengths and continue to encourage us to grow.
The responsibility to do so on our parts is just as important.
