Snips

The only thing that can cheat me of this instant's sweetness is my own inattention. If I am invested in trying to secure some imagined good or in fortifying myself against possible misfortunes, I'm not mentally present and I miss what is here now. I eat my food without tasting it, I hear music without listening to it, I feel my bodily sensations in a muffled, distant way and I spend time with those I love without reveling in the opportunity to love being with them.
El Collie

"It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others."
Sydney J. Harris

At the deepest level, it's real love and care that people crave. Give those things, and you'll receive them. Through your caring deeds and actions, you'll truly make your mark on the world.
