May God bless you with discomfort
at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,
so that you will live deep in your heart.
May God bless you with anger
at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people and the earth
so that you will work for justice, equity and peace.
May God bless you with tears
to shed for those who suffer
so you will reach out your hands to comfort them and
change their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with the foolishness
to think that you can make a difference in the world,
so you will do the things which others say cannot be done.
==========================================================
Wherever you go, go with all your heart. ~ Confucius
==========================================================
He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.
==========================================================

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves. ~ Helen Keller
==========================================================
Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities...If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped change. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better. ~ J.K. Rowling
==========================================================
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. ~ M. Scott Peck
