I was listening to Bob Marley’s ‘Stand Up! Stand up for your rights’ while I thought about this contest, and his words may have influenced my take on affirmations.

 

The quote: “The world is run by those who turn up” is from Tony Windsor, Independent Australian politician (cited in an ABC [national broadcaster] article 10 March 2016) and seems to be a variation of: “The quote the world is run by those who show up is attributed variously to anonymous sources or to an engineering expert, Robert B. Johnson, in a 1999 article in the Journal of Management in Engineering. It succinctly describes what most of us observe in our personal and work lives … that people tend to fall into two groups: those who are disengaged from the world around them or those who are active participants trying to shape the future.” -- Chris Crawford, 2009.

 

The typeface is 'Chiller' (as rendered by Adobe) & my current favourite.
