I often wonder what the world would be like, if we all simply did what truly moved us, what we felt calling to us – no matter how 'ridiculous' or 'impractical'.   Imagine how much less depression, anger, frustration and hopelessness there might be – in your own life, and the world around you." - Susan Biali
