Each of us is of infinite value,
and each of us has the ability to make
a profound difference in the lives we touch.

on those around us by the nature of our lives

or how important we believe we are.

regardless of external circumstances,

abandons the joy and the true value of life.

your family, your friends, and your community
is the example you set, leading a great life that inspires
those around you to emulate your being.
