...His Holiness The Dalai Lama :) I really liked this TED talk by Jody Williams, the woman behind the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. She received the Nobel Peace Prize for it and talks about some of the most inspiring people on the world stage right now. Their common theme is taking action. Don't just sit there! Get up and do something, however much time you have. It does not matter, just don't keep on sitting there just watching and moaning about all the suffering in the world (maybe including your own). I am trying to find the best way to make "taking good action" my livelyhood!

“I don’t believe in hope without endeavour.”... “be an active citizen.” What a wonderful talk this one was. Thanks for sharing. It just made me think and question myself about what I am doing with my own life. I am so busy with my own personal affairs that sometimes I forget the rest of the world. These types of talks are great reminders.
Isn't she great?! Just so energetic and authentic, right down to her trouble with swear words :) Her ambition and drive remind me not to add my own to the world's suffering, but to help minimize it as best as I can. May your days be free from worries!
