“Even after all this time the sun never says | The Foundation for a Better Life

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky. —Hāfiz

It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely. #<Author:0x0000561d12ac48a8>

HOPE

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. #<Author:0x0000561d12b3ce98>

KINDNESS

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete. #<Author:0x0000561d12b16f90>

SELF-CARE

When you stay on purpose and refuse to be discouraged by fear, you align with the infinite self, in which all possibilities exist. #<Author:0x0000561d12b9ff70>

PURPOSE

Perhaps the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company. #<Author:0x0000561d12b7d128>

FRIENDSHIP

Never, never be afraid to do what's right. #<Author:0x0000561d12b4ce88>

EQUALITY

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. #<Author:0x0000561d12bcc020>

CONFIDENCE

It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained. #<Author:0x0000561d12bad238>

CONNECTION

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

Being willing is not enough, we must do. #<Author:0x0000561d12c1c160>

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. #<Author:0x0000561d12bf6cf8>

PURPOSE

The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. #<Author:0x0000561d12c7ec70>

CREATIVITY

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. #<Author:0x0000561d12c55ac8>

COMPASSION

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm. It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm, and in those times of trouble when you are most alone, the memory of love will bring you home.
