![“[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…” quote by Dragos Bratasanu](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1fc/dragos-bratasanu-13221_daily-breath_the-daily-breath-you-cannot-be-depressed_2257091.jpg)
