There is a fabulous quote by Calvin Coolidge that states:<\/p>\n

\u201cNo person was ever honored for what he received, but what he gave.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That is so true!\u00a0 What impresses me most about people isn\u2019t what they have received in their life, but for the fact that they use what they have to reach out and help others, because that is what they will be most remembered for someday.<\/p>\n

Doing kind things for others, whether it be small things like a smile or a nice word, or whether it is big things like helping someone out in need or helping someone do something that they can\u2019t do for themselves, that is the key to finding your own happiness and your own success in life.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccess has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It\u2019s what you do for others.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0~Danny Thomas<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ever discount the meaning of the small things you can do for someone.\u00a0 Don\u2019t pass up the opportunities that come throughout your day to lift someone else\u2019s spirits, to give a compliment, to say thank you, to smile, to lend a hand.\u00a0 Be willing to help the people around you in any way that you can because you truly never know what impact you have made in that person\u2019s life, and the fact is that it may have been a small thing to you but it may be the entire world to the other person you helped.\u00a0 You just never know.\u00a0 One of my favorite quotes from the bible is:<\/p>\n

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"angels\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I LOVE that! So let\u2019s all make a special effort to give more of ourselves. Let\u2019s all do something kind for someone else whether it\u2019s big or small\u2026because every day we do that we can consider that day a HUGE SUCCESS!<\/p>\n
