How you make others feel about themselves says a lot about you.

Uplifting others builds collective strength, heals emotional wounds, and enriches our own personal lives.

Robert Ingersoll: "We rise by lifting others.

"Booker T. Washington: "If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

"Maya Angelou: "Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud.

"John Holmes: "There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.

"Dolly Parton: "If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

"James Matthew Barrie: "Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

"Seneca: "Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.

"Ralph Waldo Emerson: "You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Chris Burkmenn: "Encouragement is like water to the soul, it makes everything grow.

"Kalen Dion: "Encouraging someone to be entirely themself is the loudest way to love them.

"Samuel Goldwyn: "When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy.

"Mother Teresa: "Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and start with the person nearest you."

The world is such a dark place right now. Be the light in someone's life and give freely of yourself without expectations of return and you will be blessed. It costs nothing.

"...Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
