"Every real change, every revolutionary
idea, every heartfelt gesture, whether it transforms one life or a thousand, was
once seen as eccentric. Leaders are few and followers many for a
reason: Change requires bucking the status quo, and bucking the status quo
requires a willingness to be perceived as crazy, dangerous, or
ridiculous. Revolutionaries, activists and change makers of every
stripe-just like entrepreneurs-lead because they cannot follow something with
which they do not agree or which limits their imaginations. They change the
world because their passion and conviction won't allow them not to."
Anita Roddick, an author and long-time
activist, is co-founder of The Body Shop. Essay from the Daily Good |
"Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good
stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on the earth to offer to others.
Anytime we can listen to true self, and give it the care it requires, we do it not only
for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch."
