The Greatest Possession

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

If you're 
feeling helpLESS
the antidote is to
 get more helpFUL.
Ed Mylett



It is never too late
 to be what you 
might have been. 
   George Eliot




The most authentic thing 
about us is our capacity 
to create, to overcome, 
to endure, to transform, to 
love and to be greater 
than our suffering. 
   Ben Okri




The greatest possession

is self possession.
