““[THE DAILY BREATH] You cannot be depressed when you show up everyday to bring hope to people in despair. You cannot feel lack when you give everyday to the poor. You cannot feel alone when you truly seek to meet people's needs. You cannot feel unworthy when you show others how precious they are. You cannot feel ugly when you truly see how beautiful all people are. You cannot feel you don't matter when you see that everyone truly matters. You cannot feel unloved when you love others. Love is something you do. What you don't give, you lose. If you don't have it, give it away to somebody today. Protect and keep the things you value by giving them.””
