"If you're feeling helpless, help someone."Burmese Author/Political Activist
1945 -
Have you ever felt helpless? That there was nothing you could do? It is easy to get discouraged and want to quit — to feel that what one does doesn't matter. Yet we must pick ourselves up and keep going. There is always hope. When you are down, find someone to help. One of the great paradoxes is that when we help others we help ourselves. By giving of ourselves to others we are giving to ourselves. We all need to believe in something beyond ourselves. For some of us, our artistic creations are what we believe in. We find hope and strength in our creativity. For others, their strength and hope comes from helping those less fortunate. You are never helpless, if you can help someone else.
Here is Morley, a singer and songwriter, who was so inspired by this quote that she turned it into a song. Listen to the words and watch the images.
