I would give her the same advice God always gives me if I think to ask: Go do some anonymous things for lonely people, give a few bucks to every poor person you see, return phone calls. Get out of yourself and become a person for others, while simultaneously practicing radical self-care: maybe have a bite to eat, check in with the sky twice, buy some cute socks, take a nap.

Take care of yourselves; take care of one another.

The way we make things better is by caring enough about those we serve to imagine the story that they need to hear.

Work that matters for people who care is the shortest, most direct route to making a difference.

If you were to write your life motto, what would it say? Look out for number one? Or look out for the needs of others?

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. . . . As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.

Smile, even when others do not.Care, even when others will not.Love, even when others could not.Give, even when others cannot.

we owe love to all people, but only to a proven friend are we to entrust "the secrets of the heart.

Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless; and, indeed, as far as it will go, to relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?

Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.

Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a genius. You don't have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.
