These quotes always brighten my day, amidst the human suffering from events like Harvey and the political rancor generated by people who are supposed to care about our country's well-being.

Your circumstance doesn’t make life extraordinary. Love does. #<Author:0x00007f14fc6ec9c8>
LOVE
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it. #<Author:0x00007f14fc9a6178>
KINDNESS
For it is in giving that we receive. #<Author:0x00007f14fcc0eed8>
GIVING BACK
Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. #<Author:0x00007f14fccf8e20>
HELPING OTHERS
Our soul desires to be understanding, our ego is only concerned with being understood. When you are being understanding you are connected to your soul. #<Author:0x00007f14fcf4e440>
SOUL
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. #<Author:0x00007f14fe752500>
HOPE
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:0x00007f14fe8b47b8>
INSPIRATION

HELPING OTHERS
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. #<Author:0x00007f14feae25a8>
OPTIMISM
Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn’t more complicated than that. 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:0x00007f14feb9dc40>
MINDFULNESS
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. #<Author:0x00007f14fed5c388>
FORGIVENESS
It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live. #<Author:0x00007f14fef03b78>
INSPIRATION
Never let a problem to be solved become more important than the person to be loved. #<Author:0x00007f14fefc3c48>
LOVE
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. #<Author:0x00007f14ff148140>
KINDNESS
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? #<Author:0x00007f14ff2cbee0>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be. #<Author:0x00007f14ff3d3f90>
