Sunday Inspiration: Everything You Need to Begin

Whoever you are, you are human. Wherever you are, you live in the world, which is just waiting for you to notice the holiness in it. So welcome to your own priesthood, practiced at the altar of your own life. The good news is that you have everything you need to begin.
—Barbara Brown Taylor

Sunday Inspiration: Music

We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the common denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.
—Willie Nelson

Sunday Inspiration: Patience

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. It is possible to live and not know.
—Rainer Maria Rilke

Sunday Inspiration: To Build and to Cherish

It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.
—Queen Elizabeth II

Sunday Inspiration: Imagine

Imagine if we all walked into the world with the belief that each person was inherently worthy.
Imagine if our goal was to help each other recognize that we are worthy of being loved.
Imagine if we sought to listen more than we spoke.
—Fred Rogers

Sunday Inspiration: Accept and Forgive

Don’t insist on your rights, don’t blame each other, don’t judge or condemn each other, don’t find fault with each other, but accept each other as you are, and forgive each other every day from the bottom of your hearts.
—Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Sunday Inspiration: Kindness

Be kinder than necessary because everyone is fighting their war or battle and suffering losses.
—Saint Luke of Simferopol

Sunday Inspiration: Empathy

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world.
—Plato

Sunday Inspiration: A Drop in the Ocean

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
—Mother Teresa

Sunday Inspiration: Small Steps

Evil walks in small steps. If it were to come all at once, we would not be deceived.
—Saint Paisios of Mount Athos
