Weight of the World

Sometimes you read/hear things and quickly forget. But others you read/hear and remember always.

I heard this in 2001 and have read many times since. The load during college was heavy - and this seemed to help lighten it.

"My purpose today is to remind us that we are not involved in a weight-lifting competition to determine whose world weighs the most. Instead, we are involved in the competition of helping others to lift the weight of their world when it becomes unbearable."
How:
1. Lend a listening ear.
2. Look for small things.
3. Err on the side of action.
