Identifying strengths and abilities in the individual that contribute to them dealing with the issue is essential and accepting the individual's values is paramount (even if we may not agree with them). Active listening skills need to be used when supporting an individual. While working with an individual who was trying to stop substance use we worked together to identify the triggers and when the individual relapsed we discussed what had happened and what they would need to do or avoid doing in order to succeed.

For as indomitable as it can be, one should always try to balance passion with reason, in order to lead a life out of

For those cowards, the not-all The not-yet and irreplaceable sparks That live within the very soul of some Maharlikans The challenge is for those who are willing to commit, Dedicate and consecrate themselves for your salvation For nowadays the Maharlikans seem to have lost their souls and spirit And contended for what they have, that they don't want to reach out The peaks and edge of progressiveness that is on the top For they live within themselves with irrationality, cowardness And unjustified selfishness for which they think is right.

Beatrice and Benedick hide the fact that they love each other- not only from one another, but from themselves.
