Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Posted by Zebra @californiazebra, Jun 21, 2023

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."

Everyone's age today is 2023

Did you know that today the whole

world is of the same age! Today is

a very special day and only happens

once every thousand (1,000) years.

Your age + your year of birth, every
person = 2023.

It's so strange that even experts

can't explain it! You check it out and

see if it's 2023. It has been waiting

for a thousand years!

Oh amazing but maybe should it be

The years you were born and the age yu will be this year?

Mind was 2023 as I just had birthday but one daughter and spouse was 2022 but by end of year will be 2023

Amazing!

Oh just checking this on internet and this is what someone commented :
So it is still very amazing but apparently it happens every year, never knew that.

Quote: . The fact that no matter what age we are if is added with the birth year will equal to the year we are in it’s a mystery. The calculation is correct but the statement is incorrect that it is just his year. End of quote

I had the same issue because my birthday is in November. But when I used my soon-to-be age the answer was 2023. See if that works for you.
