Give
"Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully."
Imagine the outcome if this statement was put into application. Just think about how many people you could impact and change if you did that to for everyone you met in one day.
Giving people a little more of your time, a little bit better customer service, a smile you normally don't give them. Going that tiny extra mile, for everyone you come across in one day- don't you think you would feel a little more satisfied and joyful inside yourself- knowing you were perhaps a better person today than yesterday.
Imagine how you would feel if you were given a little more than you expected in a day, how special you would feel, how someone really made your day...you could make someone else feel that exact same way...we have so much power to impact other people's lives for the better...or for the worse.

I have had this for a long time so I wanted you to have it. A dear friend sent it to me when things were rather rough.
"Portrait of a Friend"
I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.
I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.
I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.
I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.
I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

This is beautiful, I love it! sometimes it is just getting things like this that help you make it through when you don't think you can go on any longer.
