I still believe that people are really good at heart.

The answers that you are content to not know.

the beginning of the next great cycle.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

Are you feeling stressed and upset?
If so, you are worrying about tomorrow.
Events that have already occurred may cause you regret,

You are worrying about paying your bills and finding a new job.
Those are worries about tomorrow.

Perspective:
Do you always look at life from the same point-of-view?
Consider viewing a situation as another might view it.
Look from behind, underneath, from the distant heavens.
View the situation as someone of a different religion,
race, or nationality might view it.
Pretend you are an alien from a distant galaxy -
that should be good for a laugh.
Troubles only appear troubling to those close to them.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Your work is to discover your world
and then with all your heart give yourself to it.

There is always the danger that we may
just do the work for the sake of the work.

that we do it to God, to Christ,
and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
- Mother Teresa

Let us touch the dying, the poor,
the lonely and the unwanted
