Perspective and Inspiration on a Saturday Morning

Published 17th July 2010 - 17 comments - 1217 views -

Fellow TH!NKers and readers,

I hope you've all been  enjoying your Saturday morning. I've been reading the papers, eating a 3 course breakfast and basking in the glory of a morning to myself. Bliss.

I came across this and thought of you. I hope it will serve as a little reminder of just how lucky we all are. And, a reminder of why we are passionate about the work that we do. Please feel free to share it. (Source.)

    Clare, fantastic. We are incredibly lucky…
    Let’s continue our fight.

  • Johan Knols on 17th July 2010:

    Nice.
    We always seem to look at what we don’t have instead of what we have.

  • Hussam Hussein on 17th July 2010:

    Completely agree Johan! wink

    We need to remember this every now and then!

    Thank you all for your supportive comments. Sometimes I forget why I’m doing what I’m doing and this came as a welcome reminder. And as Luan said, let’s continue our fight.

  • Radka Lankašová on 18th July 2010:

    Very, very true.

  • Carmen Paun on 18th July 2010:

    Claire, where did you find this? It moved me so much and indeed made me feel very lucky. And when you look at the numbers it hits you: I always thought that there are more people in the world having all those things that those not having them.

  • Clare Herbert on 18th July 2010:

    Hi Carmen, I’ve highlighted the source above - the link in blue just above the picture.

    Glad you enjoyed the pic. It is very moving, I think.

  • Liisa Leeve on 18th July 2010:

    I liked this “poster” a lot too! I checked out the source, but do you happen to know if the person who’s site it was on had made it herself?

  • Iris Cecilia Gonzales on 18th July 2010:

    Thanks for this Clare.

    It reminds us how lucky we are.

  • x Corrine/Frock & Roll x on 19th July 2010:

    Thank-you very much for the link love, Clare! Sometimes is a good dose of perspective is EXACTLY what we need.

  • Clare Herbert on 19th July 2010:

    Cheers Corrine.

  • Clare Herbert on 19th July 2010:

    @ Liisa: I’m not sure but let me check and get back to you on it, OK?

  • Clare Herbert on 20th July 2010:

    @ Liisa: I checked that out for you and the blogger didn’t design it herself. She found it via http://www.weheartit.com. Hope that helps, Clare.

  • Giedre Steikunaite on 20th July 2010:

    This is great, Clare! I’ll sure pass it on wink

  • Clare Herbert on 20th July 2010:

    Glad you liked it Giedre.
