Sunday Inspiration: When Something Bad Happens
When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.
—Dr. Seuss
Sunday Inspiration: Repairing the World
If you see what needs to be repaired and how to repair it, then you have found a piece of the world that God has left for you to complete. But if you only see what is wrong and what is ugly in the world, then it is you yourself that needs repair.
—Menachem Mendel Schneerson
Sunday Inspiration: Differences
It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.
—Audre Lorde
Sunday Inspiration: The Path Before You
If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.
—Carl Jung
Sunday Inspiration: A Daring Adventure
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
—Helen Keller
Sunday Inspiration: Seeing Things as We Are
Most of us do not see things as they are; we see things as we are. That is no small point.
—Richard Rohr
Sunday Inspiration: Praying
There is something deeply hypocritical about praying for a problem you are unwilling to resolve.
—Miroslave Volf
Sunday Inspiration: Disarming Hostility
If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each person’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Sunday Inspiration: Dealing with Pain
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
—James Baldwin
Sunday Inspiration: Gentleness
In our time of political unrest and upheaval, you must cling to your softness. Gentleness is an act of political resistance.
—Mia Tabib
