A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms.

Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

William Arthur Ward

I understand your pain. Trust me, I do. I've seen people go from the darkest moments in their lives to living a happy, fulfilling life. You can do it too. I believe in you. You are not a burden. You will never be a burden.

Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Lift up the weak; inspire the ignorant. Rescue the failures; encourage the deprived. Live to give. Don't only hustle for survival. Go, and settle for revival.
