Ella Wheeler Wilcox was right when she said, “All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.” When we practice love, our lives can be interesting. But we don’t do that. But if we focus on hate, on negative thoughts, we are not going to achieve our dreams. We are not going to grow through life. Instead, we are going to go through life.

If we focus instead on loving ourselves, our neighbors, our friends, our crafts, we can change our lives. We can change the lives of the people around us. And we can change the world.
