“A Guerrilla Gardener in South Central LA” by Ron Finley

Bad days happen and it’s so easy to fall into the trap of waking up, showing up to work, doing the bare minimum, and falling asleep. That’s no way to live. Ron Finley’s inspiring TED Talk will help you pull yourself out of a boring cycle of routine and feeling like a corporate drone who can’t possibly make a difference.

Finley takes over abandoned lots, traffic medians and curbside spaces to make urban gardens. His story is one of grassroots change that will inspire you to embrace your passions and make a real difference.

“A Virtual Choir 2,000 Voices Strong” by Eric Whitacre

It’s pretty easy to feel isolated and alone, especially if you’re having one of those bad days that just won’t quit. We’re only human and feeling lonely is perhaps one of the most human emotions someone could have.

The thing is, in this modern day and age, we’re all connected at the click of a button. Composer and conductor Eric Whitacre had a strange dream to connect thousands through a virtual choir. His story of how he achieved these goals and brought together 2,000 people from around the world is inspiring and heartwarming. If you feel lonely or isolated, this will pick you right up.
