To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
-Emerson

This quote is one of the best I've read. There are many people in my life that have made me breathe easier because they have lived. For those kindred spirits and souls that have crossed my path, thank you for yourself when needed. And to one particular one who will never read this, I wish you to know the beauty I have found in you is because how you appreciate others.
