"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." --Martin Luther King, Jr.
Active Hope
Shifting our world toward a life-sustaining society takes active hope. We need to counter the voices that say we're not up to the task, that we're not good enough, strong enough, or wise enough to make any difference. If we fear that the mess we're in is too awful to look at or that we won't be able to cope with the distress it brings up, we need to find a way through that fear. This piece, co-authored by Joanna Macy, describes three threads we can follow that help us stand tall and not shrink away when facing the immensity of what's happening to our world.
BE THE CHANGE
Recall a time when you pushed against the odds to accomplish something that you were proud of. How can you harness that fierceness and hope today to fight for something you believe in?
