Lessons

Potential Within

Your thoughts,
which you are responsible for,
are as real as your deeds.
You will begin to realize that
every word and every deed
affects your life and has also
touched thousands of lives.

I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices,
and we have to accept the consequences of
every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.

There is within each one of us a potential
for goodness beyond our imagining;
for giving which seeks no reward;
for listening without judgment;
for loving unconditionally.

- Dr. Elisabeth Kȕbler-Ross

World Humanitarian Day

Every year on August 19th we mark World Humanitarian Day in honour of aid workers, who have lost their lives in the line of duty. We commemorate their sacrifice and reaffirm our commitment to the lifesaving work that humanitarians carry out around the world every day, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances, where others cannot or do not want to go. This year our World Humanitarian Day campaign is calling on people to answer a QUESTION: ‘What do you think the world needs more of?’”

Calm

Be guided absolutely and entirely by the vision of calmness,
