Being human, we are imperfect.
That's why we need each other.
To catch each other when we falter.
To encourage each other when we lose heart.
Some may lead; others may follow;
but none of us can go it alone.

Live your life joyfully by your own rules.
Support and encourage others to live their own joyful and fulfilling lives,
while you avoid trying to make their choices for them.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
