Becoming generous, carrying someone else for a while, does amazing things for your self-esteem. Selfishness--even in the name of an injustice--lowers your self-respect and creates shame. |

| Quote: |
There are many find things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of some less fortunate fellow traveler. Today you can make your life...significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with it as you will. |

Be grateful for the joy of life. Be glad for the privilege of work. Be thankful for the opportunity to give and serve. Good work is the great character-builder, the sweetener of life, the maker of destiny. Let the spirit of your work be right, and whether your task be great or small you will then have the satisfaction of knowing it is worth while. |

| Quote: |
You nourish your soul by fulfilling your
destiny, by developing the potential
that the soul represents. When you
fulfill your soul's destiny, you will
feel "right."
Conversely, when you ignore your soul's
destiny, when you get caught up in your
own self-interests and forget to care
for others, you will not feel "right."
Instead, you will feel empty and
unfulfilled. During these times, you are
neglecting your soul--you are depriving
it of nourishment.
When I talk
to people who feel this emptiness and
lack of fulfillment, I recommend they
find a source of balance in their lives.
I suggest they find a way to "give back"
to the world in order to feel a sense
of completeness. |

The ingredients of happiness are so simple that they can be counted on one hand. Happiness comes from within, and rests most securely on simple goodness and clear conscience. Religion may not be essential to it, but no one is known to have gained it without a philosophy resting on ethical principles. Selfishness is its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one's self. It is quiet, seldom found for long in crowds, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It cannot be bought; indeed money has very little to do with it. |
