We must listen but not remain silent. If things are to change for the positive, we must also remember that the first 4 letters of the word evolve is LOVE in reverse.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this. #<Author:0x00007f69ae667a28>

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. #<Author:0x00005561fc945800>
PEACE
Let our hearts be stretched out in compassion toward others, for everyone is walking his or her own difficult path. #<Author:0x00005561fcdc7c48>

PERSEVERANCE
The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. #<Author:0x00005561fdc30550>

FITNESS
Ask not for an easy life...ask for the strength to face the elements, to weather the storms; to be the might for the right and the weak, to be the voice for those who cannot speak, to see one's dreams to fruition with dignity, integrity, and grace. #<Author:0x00005561fe3848b0>

LEADERSHIP
Your opponent, in the end, is never really the player on the other side of the net, or the swimmer in the next lane, or the team on the other side of the field, or even the bar you must high-jump. Your opponent is yourself, your negative internal voices, your level of determination. #<Author:0x00005561fe40e498>
DETERMINATION
To help yourself, help others. Whatever good you do travels a circle and returns to you many times over- but remember, life isn't about what you get, it's about what you become. #<Author:0x00005561fe444c50>
HELPING OTHERS
