How you view this world
is dependent upon
how much light
you allow in.

Be patient and tough,
someday this pain
will be useful to you.

“When we design for disability first, you often stumble upon solutions that are better than those when we design for the norm.” ~ Elise Roy

What we find in a soulmate is not something wild to tame but something wild to run with. ~ Robert Brault

How much of what we do and feel is learned from other people?

“In 1961, Bandura conducted a controversial experiment known as the Bobo doll experiment, to study patterns of behavior, at least in part, by social learning theory, and that similar behaviors were learned by individuals shaping their own behavior after the actions of models.

The experiment was criticized by some on ethical grounds, for training children towards aggression. Bandura’s results from the Bobo Doll Experiment changed the course of modern psychology, and were widely credited for helping shift the focus in academic psychology from pure behaviorism to cognitive psychology. The experiment is among the most lauded and celebrated of psychological experiments.” YouTube

“I wish I could do whatever I liked behind the curtain of “madness”. Then: I’d arrange flowers, all day long, I’d paint; pain, love and tenderness, I would laugh as much as I feel like at the stupidity of others, and they would all say: “Poor thing, she’s crazy!” (Above all I would laugh at my own stupidity.) I would build my world which while I lived, would be in agreement with all the worlds. The day, or the hour, or the minute that I lived would be mine and everyone else’s – my madness would not be an escape from “reality”.” ~Frida Kahlo

The biggest concern for any organization should be when their most passionate people become quiet.
