Taking a few moments to pause and observe nature can improve your mood. Literally ‘stopping and smelling the roses’ or noticing things like a bird, a house plant, a dandelion in the side- walk, or just the sun shining through the window can boost your happiness and well-being. Source Source 2

Daryl Davis hangs out with the KKK. For over 30 years, he’s been befriending members of white nationalist groups and has single-handedly inspired over 200 Klan members to leave the organization. He never tries to persuade them– just treats them with respect, opens up a conversation, and lets them confront their own belief systems. Source Source 2

Once...

There was this kid…. Who grew up on the outside looking in….. And when he grew up… He didn’t know if he was still outside or in… couldn’t tell the difference ..

We all want to be accepted. To feel special. Take on religions.. His mother raised him to be christian…. But he always had questions….

He envied those like her… Those that could feel fulfilled in life with scriptures from the bible, psalms or Quran …. The closest he could get to fulfilled is through song and most of those, just 3 min maybe 4…. He still felt there was more….

He doesn’t sleep much either…

He thinks too much…

He drinks too much…

He… Still uses…. Tumblr….

William was fascinated by science. One day, he opened a textbook and saw a picture of a windmill, and his life changed forever.

“I was very interested when I saw the windmill could make electricity and pump water. I thought: ‘That could be a defence against hunger. Maybe I should build one for myself’.”

Neighbors found it very strange that he was spending so much time sifting through garbage. “Many, including my mother, thought I was going crazy. They had never seen a windmill before.”

“People thought I was smoking marijuana. So I told them I was only making something for juju [magic].’ Then they said: ‘Ah, I see.’”

He built a 16-ft-tall turbine from spare bicycle parts, a tractor fan blade, and an old shock absorber, and made blades out of plastic pipes- amazing the entire village when he climbed to the top and plugged in a light bulb that slowly flickered to life.
