I shall fill with joy all the beings whose limbs languish.

Excerpt

I myself having reached the other shore, help others to cross the stream; I myself having attained salvation, am a saviour of others; being comforted, I comfort others and lead them to the place of refuge. I shall fill with joy all the beings whose limbs languish; I shall give happiness to those who are dying from distress; I shall extend to them succor and deliverance.

Today, remember a comfort you once received, and offer that same comfort to someone going through a difficult time.
