Giving material goods is one form of generosity, but one can extend an attitude of generosity into all one's behavior. Being kind, attentive, and honest in dealing with others, offering praise where it is due, giving comfort and advice where they are needed, and simply sharing one's time with someone - all these are forms of generosity, and they do not require any particular level of material wealth.

Patience is not the ability to wait but how you act while you're waiting.

If you really want to receive joy and happiness, then serve others with all your heart. Lift their burden, and your own burden will be lighter.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.

Attitude is a choice.
Happiness is a choice.
Optimism is a choice.
Kindness is a choice.
Giving is a choice.
Respect is a choice.
Whatever choice you make makes you.
Choose wisely.

When you say 'Yes' to others make sure you are not saying 'No' to yourself.

Pleasure in the job puts
perfection in the work.

You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

One of the most courageous decisions you'll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul.

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.

Putting hugs and heart felt feelings into words, can create messages which lift and enhance the inner feelings of the soul.

A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.

True change is within;
leave the outside as it is.

I've found that there is always some beauty left, in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.
