LIVE LIFE
At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished… It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back. #<Author:0x00007f13f689f5b0>
VOLUNTEERING
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. #<Author:0x00007f13f5fb7998>

May Light always surround you; Hope kindle and rebound you. May your Hurts turn to Healing; Your Heart embrace Feeling. May Wounds become Wisdom; Every Kindness a Prism. May Laughter infect you; Your Passion resurrect you. May Goodness inspire your Deepest Desires. Through all that you Reach For, May your arms Never Tire. #<Author:0x00007f13f69a3538>

Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience... It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it. #<Author:0x00007f13f6a1d608>
MINDFULNESS
Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier. #<Author:0x00007f13f69ebf18>
OPTIMISM
Giving is so often thought of in terms of the things we give, but our greatest giving is of our time, and kindness, and even comfort for those who need it. We look on these gifts as unimportant – until we need them. #<Author:0x00007f13f69c0ed0>
GRATITUDE
Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize. #<Author:0x00007f13f6a536e0>

FITNESS
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece by thought, choice, courage and determination. #<Author:0x00007f13f6a91800>
