helping-others

Sometimes I guess it just feels better to know that you have someone to help you when you can__ even help yourself. ~ Willow Mosby (Exposing ELE)

But remember this. When God wants to punish us, he gives us just ourselves to care for.

Belief is a wonderful way to pass the time until the facts come in.

God always brings someone into your life that has traveled the same path and knows the rocks you climbed to get to the end of the trail.

Give people the chance to change.

Let us not despise the woman who is neither mother nor daughter nor wife. Let us not limit our esteem to family life, narrow our tolerance to simple egotism. Given that heaven rejoices more at the repentance of one sinner than over a hundred good men who have never sinned, let us endeavor to make heaven rejoice. We may be rewarded with interest. Let us leave along the path the alms of our forgiveness for those whose earthly desires have marooned them, so that a divine hope may save them, and, as the wise old women say when they prescribe a remedy of their own invention, if it doesn't help, at least it can't hurt.

He who has little problems, shows little love. He who has overcome huge problems, has giant love. Because he understands what it means and won__ have others suffer like he did.

The sun rises every morning and sheds light, vanquishing the night's darkness. The rooster also rises every morning only, unlike the sun, he simply makes noise. But the darkness of the night is dispelled by sunshine, not by the rooster's crowing. The world can use more light and less noise. Wherever I can, I want to be light.

The world can use more light and less noise. More solvers and fewer blamers. More folks showing a better way and fewer folks complaining about how much better things used to be. More folks offering help and fewer folks wringing their hands about the problems. More hope bringers and fewer hope killers.

Always let your inner light shine. By doing so, you not only light a path for yourself, but also light a way for others.

We lose our ability to live fully if we neglect or ignore our responsibility to the other people who share this planet with us. We simply cannot reach our full potential without the insights and observations that other people--our teachers--have to give us. We cannot feel whole until we are helping other people to reach for their potential and to grow as strong as they can grow. We do need down time, and we do need time to ourselves, but we very much need to acknowledge our ties to our fellow human beings and act as if those people meant more to us than our jobs or pets or cars do. They are much more important than anything material that we ever can get our hands on or strive for.

I don't really care if people forget me. My legacy wasn't about me. It was about everything I could do for another. When that sinks in...well you try a little harder. You dream a little broader. Your heart stretches a little farther and you find that you can't go back to the same place and make it fit. You become a person of ideas and seek out your own kind. And then it happens: One day you discover that staying the same is scary and changing has become your new home.

I'm starting to think this world is just a place for us to learn that we need each other more than we want to admit.

If suffering like hers had any use, she reasoned, it was not to the sufferer. The only way that an individual's pain gained meaning was through its communication to others.

We must be careful with our words _ we__e like superheroes and words are like our super powers. Super powers should always be used to help others_

We are a blessing to each other.

If the past never helped you why would you ever take it into the future with you?

Your success is directly proportional to the number of lives you have touched for the better.
