Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?
I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

THINK ABOUT THIS!
'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - “Let not anyone pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

5 ReactionsYet fear is an important feeling isn't it? Have no fear but fear itself( E. Roosevelt). I agree however, with your quote. When we begin to feel that fight or flight response, it is important to pay attention to it and decide which option to take, as opposed to simply being fearful, if that makes sense.

5 ReactionsTwo quotes that make a similar point:
The pain you’ve suffered in life can either be your prison or your platform to help others — it’s your choice.
We all have a story, we all have a past, and the difference between people who are effective and who are not is this: Will you use your story, or will your story use you?
This Mayo forum is all about helping people move through their pain, out of their prison and onto their platform to help the next person.

4 ReactionsHey, did anyone try at least going out in a thundering heavy downpour in tank top and flip flops, with the wallet wrapped in layers of plastic? It's really an out-of body experience. And rarely other people around, no one to wonder where's this lunatic's umbrella?
But that was in my sixties. In my eighties now I must come up with new ways, like dopamine booster one-minute cold
shower -- if you can last that long -- is a handy tool.
