March 31, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. - Helen Keller - The Language of Love "Love is a funny thing. As the saying goes, we often find love when we least expect, but it might be equally true that when we do find love it's different than we expected. This beautiful short film was created to raise awareness and money for a good cause, which it did. But it has gone so much further in showing us what love looks like, and how we can connect with each other when we have the courage to break down our own walls and become vulnerable." { read more } Be The Change Love someone in a special, unexpected, and unconditional way today.

March 30, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - Confucius - 13-Year Old Gymnast: Fearless ...& Legally Blind Most athletes have the benefit of seeing what's ahead of them -- an opponent, the bars, a vault. But for 13-year-old Lola Walters, she usually has no idea what's coming until she's literally five feet away from it. Walters, a Washington resident, is legally blind, and suffers from a disease called nystagmus which causes her eyes to shift constantly, leaving her with double vision and no depth perception. She may fall more often than her peers but gets back on the bars with a grace and grit that has won her the admiration of her friends and teachers alike. This article and the accompanying video afford a glimpse of her fearless spirit. { read more } Be The Change Accept one of your own limitations, but fearlessly, and with the resolve to rise every time it causes a stumble.

March 29, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. - Lewis Carroll - The Importance of Imagination "While growing up, I'd never really considered how important it is to be imaginative. It's a childhood profession, you could say. It comes naturally. Then we hit an age when we're presented with a scantron of bubble-in options, a template for a CV that we need to create, and Excel. At that point, our learning has to fit into certain parameters: within that little bubble, within the one page limit, and within a tiny digital graph. So, what happens to our imagination? It seems to fade." In this reflection, journalist Esha Chhabra shares a reflection on the gentle power of imagination. { read more } Be The Change Practice imagination today -- perhaps even six impossible things before breakfast. :) COMMENT | RATE               Related Good News 25 Insights on Becoming a Better Writer How We Can Change Our Minds The Most Vital Lessons for Starting Over 9 Interviews with Creative Visionaries 7 Habits of Mindful Eating Five Practices for Cultivating Patience 8 Ways to Sleep Better 8 Weeks to a Better Brain DailyGood is a volunteer-run initiative that delivers "good news" to 113,479 subscribers.
