The power of a smile, a kind word, 

a listening ear, an honest compliment...

 

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, 

a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, 

or the smallest act of caring, all of which 

have the potential to turn a life around.”

Leo Buscaglia

 If we throw ourselves into the open...

“The only way that we can live is if we grow. 

The only way we can grow is if we change. 

The only way we can change is if we learn. 

The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. 

And the only way that we are exposed is 

if we throw ourselves into the open.”

 It's all about what questions you ask yourself!

“Stop living in the land of why. 

There are no happy answers to

 ‘Why me?’ ‘Why didn’t I?’ ‘Why did I?’ 

If you must ask any questions, ponder: 

‘How can I grow?’  ‘What’s in my control to change?’ 

‘What’s a gain in my pain?'”
