What blocks you from trying to make changes in your own life or the wider world?
“The history of liberty is a history of resistance.”
―Woodrow Wilson

What passion do you rely on to guide you?
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”
― Karl Marx
In what way, however small, have you changed the world?

When have you taken power through where and how you chose to sit?
