Leo F Buscaglia

The easiest thing in the world to be is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

1. I am guilty of this very situation. I have allowed others to lay this pressure on me to my detriment, to my lifestyle, my personality and my well being. Changes are afoot!

2. Having been on the receiving end of all of these 'small acts of caring' I can truly attest to the fact that this man is so right. I truly hope that I have been able to help others in this way too.
