Quotes to ponder:

"Consider that our problem may lie more with holding onto these three assumptions than the actions of our young adults. So, challenge this 'stinking thinking' every time it creeps into your psyche."

"We need to try to focus on what we can and can't do, which is under our control, not the young adult's response, which is not under our control."
