It is the foregiver who is freed in foregiving.
kindness compassion essence
Compassion is an act of tolerance where kindness and forgiveness reign. When we make the compassionate choice, we enhance the dignity of each individual, which is the very essence of loving them.
wisdom lying failure
We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.
running nature wind
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
love-is people want
I would not want to form a partnership with an architect who has only a little knowledge of building or a broker who has a limited knowledge of the stock market. Still, we form what we hope to be permanent relationships in love with people who have hardly any knowledge of what love is.

Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.

regret challenges defeat
The most painful thing to experience is not defeat but regret
learning essence giving
The essence of education is not to stuff you with facts but to help you discover your uniqueness, to teach you how to develop it, and then to show you how to give it away.
nine steps needs
Nine times out of ten, when you extend your arms to someone, they will step in, because basically they need precisely what you need.
wise overcoming-addiction special
Life is meant to be a celebration! It shouldn't be necessary to set aside special times to remind us of this fact. Wise is the person who finds a reason to make every day a special one.
