2 Leo Buscaglia Estimates To Improve You "Embrace Alter"

By Daniel Boyd


Leo Buscaglia will be the man they call "Dr Love." Or was, Leo died in 1986, but that was following he led a full life inspiring many, as each author and motivational speaker. And now videos of Leo Buscaglia inspire quite a few on YouTube, too. And inspirational quotes by Leo Buscaglia do the same. And while Professor Buscaglia is famed for his thoughts on love, it is change that I'd like to write about here...

Inspirational Quote #1:

"Change will be the end result of all actual learning." - Leo Buscaglia

Ah, these are strong words if we but fully realize them. No matter how many self-help books we read; no matter how quite a few inspirational quotes we greedily scan, every day; no matter how quite a few workshops on self-growth or self-love or any other activity dedicated to helping our self GROW... No matter what we read, and even do, if we don't FULLY UNDERSTAND, really learn, then we are unlikely to improve - to change in a way that helps (and lasts) for us.

You'd like an example?

Okay, let's get own right here then... I've been working on myself mainly because I was a troubled adolescent, a unfavorable twenty-something, and on - on into my 30s and 40s. And, throughout my quest for answers, I was nearly Always focussed on 'why others did what they did'. Possibly I did this inside hope that I may possibly persuade them - these errant types - to realize the error of their ways, so *they* could change and thus make *my* life easier.

I rarely experienced the notion, in this time, that it was I who had to change. This very understanding about who has to change, that I more or much less FULLY get now, - aka real learning - has allowed me to begin to build real, successful changes.

Changes can begin. My changes. Helping me, very first and foremost, but helping others I'm in contact with. No quantity of self-help literature is going to assist you to transform should you think that the faults lie 'out there'. And just nodding in agreement with this notion, not fully embracing it - the FULL responsibilities of it - is not going to consume you really far, either. In my humble opinion, anyway. And, I'm sure, during the opinion of Leo Buscaglia...

Inspirational Quote #2:

"We require others. We need others to adore and we should be loved by them. There is no doubt that without the need of it, we too, like the child left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, pick madness and even death." - Leo Buscaglia

And so it is with this Leo Buscaglia inspirational quotation. I had a fundamental belief - who knows why, but childhood is usually a source for all varieties of 'false limiting beliefs', such will be the 'gift' that any childhood brings to a person - that I don't require anyone.

Seriously. "I can get on fine, on my own," went my thoughts. And if I ever experienced a relationship wherever this didn't consider 'true' then I ended it, 'justifiably' so.

Now, I'm not saying I fully embrace the simple fact of Leo's words here, but I have began to recognise that I am not an island, that it is okay to depend on others (and allow them depend on you). So my improve in this area isn't complete, but I'm getting there. And as soon as I do get there, I am going to realize the beauty, the adore that is 'being in relationship with another'. And I'll change, grow, as my interactions with these others challenge, confirm AND encourage me. I believe that growth comes from exposure to the elements, to the light (and dark) which is within us. And I consider that is what Leo Buscaglia's 2 inspirational quotes would have us think too.
