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

Sunday Inspiration: Words

Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
—Tom Stoppard

Sunday Inspiration: Laughter

Laughter is the hand of God on the shoulder of a troubled world.
—Grady Nutt

Sunday Inspiration: Purpose

Purpose is not related to career. It’s related to what God put inside you that you’re supposed to give to the world.
—Chadwick Boseman

Sunday Inspiration: Power

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
—Alice Walker

Sunday Inspiration: Progress

Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
—Plato

Sunday Inspiration: Moral Anger

Our anger is moral. Our rage is sacred. Our anxiety contains wisdom. Our hearts are telling us the truth. If the truth makes others uncomfortable—good. Show me an alarm clock that makes a sweet sound and I’ll show you an alarm clock I can sleep through.
—Ralph De La Rosa

Sunday Inspiration: The Best We Can

Some days, doing “the best we can” may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn’t perfect—on any front—and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.
—Fred Rogers
