The following are words and sources of inspiration that have influenced me this past week. They have not inspired collectively, but each one individually has encouraged me to be better, to change my thoughts, better my actions, and improve my life.
1. "Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. " --Henry William James
2. "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people stay for awhile, and give us a deeper understanding of what is truly important in this life. They touch our souls. We gain strength from the footprints they have left on our hearts and we will never be the same." --Flavia
3. A Sure Way to a Happy Day
Happiness is something we create in our mind,
It's not something you search for and so seldom find--
It's just waking up and beginning the day,
By counting our blessings and kneeling to pray--
It's giving up thoughts that breed discontent
And accepting what comes as a "gift heaven sent"--
It's giving up wishing for things we have not
And making the best of whatever we've got--
It's knowing that life is determined for us,
And pursuing our tasks without fret, fume or fuss--
For it's by completing what God gives us to do
That we find real contentment and happiness too!
--Helen Steiner Rice
