Most of us, particularly those raised as girls, were taught that we should be quiet, to use “indoor voices,” to mute ourselves in the name of politeness and civility. Civility is good. But sometimes you gotta get loud.

“People don’t resist change. They resist being changed.”
― Peter M. Senge

When have you resisted someone who tried to change you?

We to be dismissive, even derogatory about “wishful thinking,” chastising those who want things to be different without having steps in place to make that change happen. But doesn’t all change start with an act of imagination that envisions a new possibility?

What do you hope for, without having an idea of how to make it happen?

“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

What do you simply refuse to participate in?

Sometimes what the world needs is not so much the grand gesture or the great cause, so much as a little point of light, a spark of beauty or inspiration or kindness that makes the next step possible.

What little point of light has inspired you recently?
