Quotes from Azim Jamal

Giving, in the form of volunteer work: enhances your immune system, lowers cholesterol levels, strengthens your heart, decreases the incidence of chest pains, and generally reduces stress.

Much like the flower and bee, we as humans are part of nature and, in the same way, hardwired to serve. Whether we give of our time, money knowledge or guidance, we have an innate ability and desire to support others with our resources.

Hope does not mean turning a blind eye to reality or living in self-neglect. It is about accepting the situation as it is and deciding to find a better way to deal with it. It's about showing up, even when you are afraid you may fail. It's about working through the tough stuff, the painful stuff, and still carrying on because you know you are stronger than you think you are. But of course, hope alone is never enough. You have to apply focus and persistence.

The more you give of yourself, the more you find of yourself.
