True Success

True stories taken from history, the Bible, and from the author's personal life, chosen to encourage and inspire. Some of these stories you've heard before, but told with a different twist; some of them you've never heard. These stories are told not merely to inform, but also to make a point. Some of the stories are told with humor, some with an air of mystery, some to make you wonder, some to bring a tear, and some to affirm or reaffirm our faith and our values.

Flight attendant Taylor Tippett had just finished beverage service and was sitting in the back of a Boeing 737 when she had a revelation: How can I show kindness to these passengers if I can’t show it to myself? She grabbed a tiny notepad and a Sharpie and wrote: “Be kind to yourself.” Before she had time to think about it, Taylor taped the note to a window, posted a picture, and then left the slip of paper in a seat-back pocket for someone on the next flight to find. And soon what started as a personal project to encourage herself and others became a viral sensation.
