Quote by Helen Cole

“I encourage you to listen to the right voices in your life. There are plenty of people who will always be dissatisfied, no matter what you do. Be sure you are listening to the people who encourage development out of concern for you, not because you are otherwise not good enough for them. Please don’t mistake this to mean you should only listen to people who tell you what you want to hear. There are people who love you or have a vested interest in your success and happiness, who may push you to improve because they want what’s best for you. Sometimes it is those who are toughest on us that love us the most.”

I know this, I own this, and I want to help others become the best them. The way is kindness, the way is compassion. To see see one for who they are and to see them become all they can be. That is the way. The way is love.”
