Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond. —Robin Wall Kimmerer

APPRECIATING NATURE
Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it. #<Author:0x00007f54ffd1bf18>
ACCEPTANCE
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor. #<Author:0x00007f54ffd6a460>
LAUGHTER
Success is not just the crowning moment, the spiking of the ball in the end zone or the raising of the flag on the summit. It is the whole process of reaching for a goal and, sometimes, it begins with failure. #<Author:0x00007f54ffd58918>
RISING ABOVE
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be. #<Author:0x00007f54ffd42f50>
BELIEVE
The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one. #<Author:0x00007f54ffd91268>
EDUCATION
When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor. #<Author:0x00007f54ffd7b800>
SHARING
If you love someone, the greatest gift you can give them is your presence. #<Author:0x00007f54ffdc9938>

APPRECIATING NATURE
Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. #<Author:0x00007f54ffddb2a0>
COMMITMENT
We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. #<Author:0x00007f54ffe29478>
HELPING OTHERS
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. #<Author:0x00007f54ffe13768>
LIVE LIFE
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us. #<Author:0x00007f54ffe01ab8>
WISDOM
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. #<Author:0x00007f54ffe500a0>
