Can we start a radical optimism thread? Because I need a #radical optimism thread. And I think you need a #radicaloptimism thread.
News. Quotes. Music. Thoughts. Whatever.
I'll start:
"You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time." --Angela Davis
If this gets any traction, please boost, especially the replies. You and I are not the only ones that need this right now.
"Just do the next right thing" - Frozen 2
Whenever I'm lost at what to do, I think of this one line from a children's movie.
Lyrics in context:
Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you
How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I came to do
The next right thing
I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make
So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again?
Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing
Revoluciana
