First I rise, than I fall. Than as I rise again I learn the value of falling and the value of a helping hand and the difference it can make. Now I'm ready , to live life....

Great quote. It's a wonderful gesture especially after the death of a love one.

RESPECT

KINDNESS

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. #<Author:0x00007f094388bd70>

PRACTICE

Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts. The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. #<Author:0x00007f0943879fa8>

DEDICATION

The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others' burdens, easing others' loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of the holidays. #<Author:0x00007f09438c3770>

JOY

Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work. #<Author:0x00007f09438b1a70>

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

I have never been a millionaire. But I have enjoyed a great meal, a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend, a hug from a child, a cup of soup, a kiss behind the ear. There are plenty of life’s tiny delights for all of us. #<Author:0x00007f09438fba80>

APPRECIATION

Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together. #<Author:0x00007f09438e9830>

INCLUDING OTHERS

WONDER

Never, never be afraid to do what's right. #<Author:0x00007f0943921280>

EQUALITY

There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. #<Author:0x00007f094390b7f0>

LEARNING

Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted—folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them. #<Author:0x00007f0943959838>

HELPING OTHERS

HOPE

PERSPECTIVE
