KINDNESS
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. #<Author:0x00007f2deea7b390>

VOLUNTEERING
Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. #<Author:0x00007f2deea89bc0>
