‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind’ – My most guiding mantra. Even on very tough days at work, or just tough days existing in this world, I keep this quote in mind when making decisions.
The question is not, ‘Can they reason?’ nor, ‘Can they talk?’ but, ‘Can they suffer?’ – Jeremy Bentham. One of the main quotes that started me on my vegan journey.
Songs are always very helpful when I need some additional motivation too – my most recent go to song, especially when I am feeling very overwhelmed with just how the world is at the moment, is from the very fabulous ‘Hamilton’ musical, ‘Wait for it’:
I am the one thing in life I can control
I am inimitable, I am an original
I’m not falling behind or running late
I’m not standing still, I am lying in wait
I do technically have a whole playlist of songs I listen to when I need some added motivation or comfort, but the above are the main quotes that I keep coming back to and seem to help ground me and guide me the most often.
