Superb....sometimes our mere presence is all it takes to make someone feel better.

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.

An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. #<Author:0x00007ff93a67d7a8>
GET OUTSIDE
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:0x00007ff93a6799c8>
MINDFULNESS
You have to know what you want to get. But when you know that, let it take you. And if it seems to take you off the track, don't hold back because perhaps that is instinctively where you want to be. #<Author:0x00007ff93a676368>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
That thing that you do, after your day job, in your free time, too early in the morning, too late at night. That thing you read about, write about, think about, in fact fantasize about. That thing you do when you’re all alone and there’s no one to impress, nothing to prove, no money to be made, simply a passion to pursue. That’s it. That’s your thing. That’s your heart, your guide. That’s the thing you must, must do. #<Author:0x00007ff93a672f88>
PURPOSE

EDUCATION
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you. #<Author:0x00007ff93a6eafb0>
CHARITY
Inspire and bring joy to all those you know. #<Author:0x00007ff93a6e2770>
ENCOURAGEMENT
As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison. #<Author:0x00007ff93a71d528>
FORGIVENESS
Enjoy all you have while pursuing all you want. #<Author:0x00007ff93a7197e8>

PEACE
I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. #<Author:0x00007ff93a73f150>
HELPING OTHERS
An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. #<Author:0x00007ff93a73b4b0>
TEACHING BY EXAMPLE
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lit the flame within us. #<Author:0x00007ff93a7376d0>
GRATITUDE
Purpose is the reason you journey. Passion is the fire that lights the way. #<Author:0x00007ff93a7338f0>
