Find someone worse off than you and be their friend. Your life will change. It’s easier than you think. The next time you give money to a homeless person ask them how they are doing and just talk. It means more to them then the money. It never fails to make me feel better and more worthwhile. The rest will flow from there.

Be well and remember you are loved!
