Good morning!
'Your opponents would love you to believe that it’s hopeless, you have no power, there’s no reason to act, you can’t win. #Hope is a #gift you don’t have to surrender, a #power you don’t have to throw away.' ~ #RebeccaSolnit, forward to #HopeInTheDark
I talk a lot about hope, #encouragement, & #perseverance. 😄 It matters. We all need to know we are not alone, that someone is cheering us on, & we can do big things, both alone & esp together. #KeepGoing 💪

Good morning!
This is specifically appropriate today, but also in general for choices people are making everywhere. #KeepGoing
Things I Refuse to Apologise For
I am not sorry
for refusing to crumble
under the weight
of your cruelty.I am not sorry
for turning these ruins
you tried to make of me
into something beautiful.I am not sorry
for knowing
I am sacred
despite your desecration.#Poetry #Decisions #Persistence #Courage #TravellingLight #KeepGoing

Pt 14 of #DespairIsNotAStrategy: 15 Principles of #Hope
Recognise & account for our mind’s #NegativityBias - our mind’s tendency to weigh negative things more heavily, even when they are of equal intensity.
There are horrible/scary things happening but to truly gauge the state of the world, we must acknowledge the reality of our mind’s bias, then seek out stories of positive change to counterbalance it. (Five positive for every negative.)

Good morning!
"I don't think #art has to be #beautiful or uplifting, & some of the work I am most drawn to refuses to traffic in either of those qualities.
What I care about more ... are the ways in which it's concerned with #resistance & #repair."
#OliviaLaing, Funny Weather: Art in an #Emergency
So much #respect for unflinching #artists of every stripe who name and/or heal. They will save us all.
#Create. Keep going. 💪

Good morning!
“When I'd feel overwhelmed by what was going on in the world, I would just say to myself: ‘#Hope is a #discipline' ... It’s less ‘how you feel’ & more about the #practice of making a #decision every day, that you’re still gonna put one foot in front of the other…
It’s a hard thing to maintain. But it matters to have it, to #believe that it’s possible to change the world.”
– #MariameKaba, interviewed in Hope is a Discipline: On Dismantling the Carceral State

Good morning!
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place & time that the tide will turn.”
Hang on.
If this is a dream achievement (education, competition, personal goal) & * * a good and healthy thing for you to do * *, hang on. Keep going. 💪
