This video reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:
“It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are many ways to build a life. The important thing is that you find your gift, whatever it may be, and embrace it. Live it. Breathe it. Love it.
Some of us focus on our personal accomplishments and growth, and some of us focus on helping others. The truth is, it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around.

I hope you find this video as inspiring as I did.
