“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.” – Booker T. Washington
You reach a certain point in your consciousness when you inevitably realize that we are all one. We are connected in more ways than we can realize, and there is suddenly an inherent wisdom in treating your neighbor as you would like to be treated. Though it may not be immediate, and it probably won’t be in the way we imagine, the kindness and encouragement we give to others will surely find its way back to us, usually even stronger than when we sent it out.
