Work for change. Give some of your time, resources, and talents to create systemic change that benefits all. Choose the issues that most concern and compel you, get involved, and relish the joy that such generosity brings to yourself and others.
People need relevant information, tools for critical thinking, and motivation to lead meaningful lives that contribute to a better world.
Build community. Find others who share your desire to make most good choices by joining existing groups or creating your own group, and invite people to join you. You will enjoy the friendship and camaraderie, and help make a difference at the same time. Don’t forget the communities of which you are already a part. Get to know your neighbors, and work with them to make your neighborhood healthy, supportive, and safe.
Share what you know with others and engage them in the challenge of living a good life by using positive communication that does not judge or blame.
Listen as often as you speak. Teaching and learning happen everywhere: one on one, in schools, in religious congregations, at camps, in families, in print and film, at learning centers, on social networking internet sites, and so on. Model your message, and speak your truth in kind and inspiring ways wherever you are and with whomever you’re in contact.
Set reasonable goals for yourself, and remember that the “most good, least harm” equation includes you. You are a role model for a good life, so find the balance that lets you live joyfully, enthusiastically, and compassionately.
