Quotes To Live By

Quote #213: Michelle Bahr

Hi, I'm Michelle Bahr and a member of the Neighboring Week, RiverDays and the Wellbeing Coalition. I am a retired special education director and enjoying this phase of life!

A quote that inspires, energizes, focuses, and is meaningful to me is, "It's a beautiful thing to realize that simply being kind may become a part of someone else's story forever," from Gracefully Inspired.

The reason I find this quote so impactful is that you never know what is going on in someone's life. If you think with positive intent, you can empathize with others, and you never know how something as simple as a smile or a hello can change someone's day for the better. In a world that can sometimes be stressful, it only takes a minute to brighten someone's day. This quote supports my wellbeing in the hope that others will return the favor to others.

So, take a moment today to reach out to others in a positive way. This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series.
