How to Become Truly Great
I found this quotation and posted it on my Facebook and thought it was too wonderful not to share here as well. I think they're terrific words to live by, don't you? It's so easy to forget this when we're wrapped up in our own little world.

Love it-so very true.
Awesome quote. I would just like to add that I appreciate how you personally, Lori, "stand with" and encourage people that you could be "above". It makes a big difference...at least to me!
That is an awesome quote!
So true. In these days of Social networking we often forget that and constantly hoot our own horn or focus on advertising our selves. But the core thing in this life is when you listen to others and care for them.
I have seen that in you Lori, have commented that before too some where I guess and I feel it is an important thing that you believe and that comes out. Thank you. Dita.
By the way I'll try to tweet it now. Dita.
Thank you for these beautiful words...I have to remind myself all the time. This along with ..."be kind".....ummmm, that rings a bell!
That quote is so true. and It takes so very little to encourage another soul as we travel along the way. Be Blessed
