Sometimes great hope, encouragement, and wisdom can come from quite simple and unassuming sources such as a small child, a quotation or saying you read somewhere, or a friend. Sometimes it comes from that quiet, modest person who remains relatively unknown to the rest of the world, but for you they are a role model and hero.
Perhaps, like me, you find such profound ideas coming from a little bear. A little bear named Winnie The Pooh whom you grew up with all throughout childhood. He never needed much in the way of material things nor fame and fortune, but he did treat his friends with kindness and caring. And he did teach you things about loving others and having courage and bravery.
Here's a saying or two that I got from a beloved character and his friend Christopher Robin:
"You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
~Christopher Robin
"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever."
~Winnie the Pooh
