It amazes me how a bad situation can change your perception of life. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
The below quote encapsulates my experience abroad and what I took back with me.
“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”
-Albert Einstein
