Or convenient. But
it has the potential
to change everything.

A 20-minute neighbourhood is one in which residents can get to most of their essential services or activities within 20 minutes by walking, biking or taking public transport…The focus is on day-to day activities that we do for necessity or enjoyment.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
John Lennon (via kari-shma)

We need as a society to understand that people with care needs very much have something to offer. Care and support should not just be about making people comfortable but about helping them to fulfill their potential, whatever their circumstances.
Andrew Lansley (UK Health Minister) and Paul Burstow (UK Care Minister), introduction to the care and support white paper that was published yesterday. A small glimmer of sense from politicians! (via mindovermatterzine)

It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don’t. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever.

blech:

There’s some crazy plans in this map of potential DLR extensions (from London Reconnections, via Dan W). Perhaps the most baffling question is: why is the station between Lewisham and Catford called Medusa? (Apparently it’s named after the road it’d be on.)

I’m not a
prophet
or a stone aged man,
just a mortal with potential of a
superman.

I’m living on.
