Sunday Inspiration: Solitude

All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
—Blaise Pascal

Sunday Inspiration: Because of Who You Are

Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.
—Mother Teresa

Sunday Inspiration: Failure

There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail.
—Charles Bukowski

Sunday Inspiration: Change

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
—Viktor Frankl

Sunday Inspiration: Gratitude

Be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.
—Carl Sagan

Sunday Inspiration: Irritation

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
—Carl Jung

Sunday Inspiration: The Most Beautiful Thing

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, his eyes are closed.
—Albert Einstein

Sunday Inspiration: Privilege

Sometimes privilege looks like being able to ignore a crisis that others are dying from.
—Blair Imani

Sunday Inspiration: Everyday Magic

I do believe in an everyday sort of magic—the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.
—Charles de Lint

Sunday Inspiration: Tears

There are many things that can only be seen through eyes that have cried.
—Oscar Romero
