what makes you come alive
I stumbled upon this quote today, as you do in the course of a typical working day in the bookshop:
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
It's from one Howard Thurman (no, I haven't heard of him either), and you just know it's true, in every way and on every level. Change yourself before you try to change the world etc..
But I wonder.. What if what makes one come alive is the attempt to change the world, or - on the other hand - just a new haircut?
