Quotes #2

***Warning: This is a serious post. They're a rare occasion, but they do happen. Don't be shocked.****
One of the things that the directors at HELP International tell you as you get ready to go to country is that you need to be the best person you can be before you go. If you do that then you will grow even more while you are there. I have been thinking about that a lot lately and trying to implement it into my preparation. This quote was in my "Quote Book" and really inspired me in this quest to become the best Lindsi I can be.

"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger."
-Christian D. Larsen
