I think the best way … is for us not to settle for less ourselves. (Be inspired by and live like those who) as Gandhi enjoined, "refuse to participate in anything humiliating," or who dedicate their lives to creating beautiful things, or who are deeply attuned to plants and animals, or who live free of the mentality of what they can afford to do, or who bring people together through the force of their love, who are generous without effort or stint, who see right through me and love me anyway, knowing I am good.

Seeing their joy, passion, love, generosity, and creativity, we no longer will tolerate a system and an ideology that creates the opposite. Life can be better than this! ~ Charles Eisenstein, The Ascent of Humanity http://www.ascentofhumanity.com/ Tags: Beautiful, Attune, Plants, Animals, Together, Force, Love, Generous, See, Love, Good, Think, Best, Way, Inspired, Live, Gandhi, Refuse, Participate, Free,
