Don’t Waste It

On this day – mend a quarrel Search out a forgotten friend. Dismiss a suspicion and replace it with trust. Encourage someone who has lost faith. Keep a promise. Forget an old grudge. Examine your demands on others and vow to reduce them.

Fight for a principle. Express your gratitude. Overcome an old fear. Take two minutes to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Tell someone you love them. Tell them again. And again. And again.

The True Meaning of Success

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded! - - Ralph Waldo Emerson
