Who Gets to Build the World We Will Live In?

You might be thinking this is all well and good for famous authors and cartoonists, but ordinary people don’t have many chances to change the world. I disagree. Ideas change the world routinely, and most of those ideas originate from ordinary people. You might have a patent idea, a product idea, or a process idea that could change the world. Before my cartoon career, I had plenty of big ideas that didn’t work out. When one idea failed, I usually had two more to take its place. And every one of my ideas had real-world potential, even if the odds were bad. Don’t worry if your idea is a long shot.

True grit is an expression of resiliency. True grit is not only having your heart broken open by the death of a chestnut tree, the killing fall of a stupa’s stonework, and the swoon of a roller-coaster drop, but it’s also managing to keep that heart open despite those losses. Bodhicitta means “awakened mind,” but it connotes open heart. Your mind cannot awaken while your heart remains closed.
