There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. (author unknown) |

Here are two quotes I live upon besides "This too, shall pass"
![]() "If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again." ~ Flavia Weedn "Each of us has much more hidden inside us than we have had a chance to explore. Unless we create an environment that enables us to discover the limits of our potential, we will never know what we have inside of us." ~ Muhammad Yunus

A disciple asked Confucius about humaneness.
Confucius said, “You are humane if you can practice five things in the world: respectfulness, magnanimity, truthfulness, acuity, and generosity. If you are respectful, you won’t be despised. If you are magnanimous, you will win people. If you are truthful, you will be trusted. If you are acute, you will be successful. If you are generous, you will be able to employ people.” (17:6) __________________________________________________ _____________ NIV Matthews 6:25-30 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how Gold clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much clothe you, O you of little faith?

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!

"I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace."
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." -- Helen Keller US blind & deaf educator (1880 - 1968) I agree ![]() |

There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
