There is no small act of kindness. Every compassionate act makes large the world.

Take a deep breath and do the difficult thing first.

Know the best and highest choices for health and more often choose those things.

Speak quietly to yourself and promise there will be better days. Whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. Console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. Offer comfort in practical and tangible ways - as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. Recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. Tomorrow comes more brightly.

When I want friendship defined - I look at my friends.

Curiosity takes courage. The most important promises are the ones you make to yourself. Pay Attention. Appreciate. Listen. Imagine.

Laughter is what spills over the edge of an inspired life.
