It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
When reflecting on my life, the strongest belief I have experienced is the integrity of the human spirit /soul. My greatest joy is the moment of triumph of a human being experiencing success of a hard won victory. When sustained effort against the resistance of limitation or barriers allows attainment...a handicapped youth finishing a Special Olympics event; a child taking the first step; a young man acknowledging their addiction; a senior adult re-gaining the use of stroke impaired speech. At times the gift I or another can share is to believe in the capacity of those who falter or doubt their own capacity.
