Inspiration Campaign is a non-profit project that uses billboards – not to sell things – but to inspire. They put positive messages in the media to awaken the inner wisdom in us all. The vision is simple: the power of people! People contribute messages. People vote on which messages they’d like to see in the media. People contribute to buy the ad spaces. It’s people-powered, and it’s empowering-people!
“The dominant power we live under is not democracy or some other noble ideal – it is consumerism! And we are constantly encouraged by this power to be dissatisfied with our present lives and circumstances. We are bombarded daily by messages which exhort us to desire and to buy more, and more and more. A spiritual renegade should not strive to become well adjusted in a society where the economy is powered by discontent. We’re going to have to fight the power if we want to be happy. We’re going to have to resist the siren song of consumer capitalism.” ~ Lama Marut, A Spiritual Renegade’s Guide to the Good Life.
“Let this sink deep in your heart: only creative people are happy. Happiness is a by-product of creativity. Create something, and you will be happy.” ~ Osho

“Who feels the deep yearning to finally and completely be free of the oppression of debt slavery, inequality, wars for profit and all manmade disasters and mans inhumanity to man? The human spirit has had enough, and it is demanding its rights be restored back to him/her as a sovereign being!” ~ Tahra Ahmed
“We are living through one of the most fundamental shifts in history—a change in the actual belief structure. No economic, political, or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing their images of reality, people are changing the world.” ~ Willis Harman
“Imagination is the force that pulls your physical, emotional, and mental energies into dynamic harmony, giving wings to your soul…Making your visions happen. Enriching your world, putting your mark on it…You just have to determine to settle for nothing less than being fully alive- to show up, be who you are, and share your gifts.” ~Gabrielle Roth
“How monotonous our speaking becomes when we speak only to ourselves! And how insulting to the other beings – to foraging black bears and twisted old cypresses – that no longer sense us talking to them, but only about them, as though they were not present in our world…Small wonder that rivers and forests no longer compel our focus or our fierce devotion. For we walk about such entities only behind their backs, as though they were not participant in our lives. Yet if we no longer call out to the moon slipping between the clouds, or whisper to the spider setting the silken struts of her web, well, then the numerous powers of this world will no longer address us – and if they still try, we will not likely hear them.” ~ David Abram, Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology

“Think, dear friend, reflect on the world that you carry within yourself. And name this thinking what you wish…Just be sure that you observe carefully what wells up within you and place that above everything that you notice around you. Your innermost happening is worth all your love. You must somehow work on that.” ~Ranier Maria Rilke
