    Best quote from The Power of Focus: How to Achieve Your Goals Faster

    “

    All the kindness that you put out in the world will always find a way to come back to you. It’s the deep-seated belief that your own lack doesn't blind you to the lack of others, because there is always someone who has even less.

    ”
