ACHIEVEMENT

OPTIMISM
Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally, know who you are. #<Author:0x00007f3680f52e28>
INSPIRATION
Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can. #<Author:0x00007f3680f33578>
GIVING
There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth. #<Author:0x00007f3680fb4830>
