Welcome back!
Here's to 2012 being the best year ever...
Some blunt inspiration to take with you into the year from an amazing artist/creator/visionary:
"Stop saying you will get to it later.
And stop acting like [life] is not happening now. Kay? I am so struck by the volume of folks who act like a great life is something that is going to happen later when they get x y and z all lined up.
This is a farce. A lie. A tragedy. I am so keenly aware that THIS IS MY LIFE and there is no other way to live it than being as present as I can in each given moment. "
- Shiloh Sohpia
Happy New Year, Lynn

The Practice of Idealism
|
Idealism is having a vision of what is possible and wanting to make a difference. It is caring passionately about what is meaningful in life.
Idealists see things as they could be, and have faith in the power of change. We put our principles into practice. We don't just accept the way things are. We dare to have big dreams and then act as is they are possible. Idealism doesn't mean that we are idol dreamers. Idealists do something to make things better.
We make the ideal real.
"You see things and you say. 'Why?' But I dream things that never were and I say, 'Why not?' " - George Bernard Shaw
The practice of Idealism:
I have a dream. I have a plan.
I have faith in the highest possible outcome.
I walk my talk.
I persevere.
I make a difference.
Adapted from the Virtues Project International.
