It is so simple: the choices we make in our everyday lives, the things we do (or not) for others, define the world we live in.

About This Quote

Choosing to love and be compassionate is the most important choice we can make. It is the key that unlocks all of the doors in our lives. When we choose compassion, we choose to be happy and we choose to be healthy. When we choose to be compassionate, we choose to be kind and we choose to make a difference in others’ lives.

Being compassionate and loving does not mean that we sit around and wait for others to do something for us; it means standing up for ourselves and living life to the fullest. When we stand up for ourselves and when we stand up for others, we will change the world into a more compassionate place.
