Life doesn't always give us the joy we want .
We don't always get our hopes and dreams , and we don't always get on our own way .
But don't give up hope , because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time .
Look for the beauty around you - in nature , in others , in yourself and believe in the love of friends , family and humankind .
You can find love in a smile or a helping hand , a thoughtful gesture or a kind word .
It is all around , if you just look for it .
Give love , for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy , happiness , patience and understanding .
Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope .
Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems , you can always do a little and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference .
