#1075 Our true destiny

Hope is a verb with its shirtsleeves rolled up.

Our true destiny...is a world built from the bottom up by competent citizens living in solid communities, engaged in and by their places. David W. Orr

The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.

Quotes by David Orr

- When have you been actively involved in a worthwhile cause?
- How can you contribute in a meaningful way in your community?
