Doing the right things for the right reason in the right way is the key to Quality of Life! - Stephen Covey

If I make deposits into an Emotional Bank Account with you through courtesy, kindness, honesty, and keeping my commitments to you, I build up a reserve. Your trust toward me becomes higher, and I can call upon that trust many times if I need to. I can even make mistakes and that trust level, that emotional reserve, will compensate for it. My communication may not be clear, but you’ll get my meaning anyway. You won’t make me “an offender for a word.” When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.

Perhaps a sense of possessing needs to come to come before a sense of genuine sharing.

Integrity in the Moment of Choice Quality of life depends on what happens in the space between stimulus and response.
