The list is far from complete and I encourage all of you to add your own ideas to the pot to help improve on it.
1. "You must be the CHANGE you wish to see in the World". – Mahatma Gandhi And exactly what is Mr. Gandhi talking about here??? He's telling one and all that they must take Responsibility for themselves AND all of the rest of the World.
2. "Do! Or do not! There is no try!". This is a great quote from Star War's Yoda. Basically, "Git 'er Done" and no excuses. :-)
3. Get to know your Neighbors. If any kind of upheaval should occur, you'll have to rely on them, and they on you.
4. Stop watching the News and turn off your TV. You don't eat garbage, why allow it into your mind?
5. Greet People you meet as you're walking about. Say "Hello" and make a Friend.
6. Plant a Garden. You'll find Kids love to do this, even big Kids :-) Besides, homegrown food is very healthy.
7. Visit your Public Library often. When the TV is off, read more.
8. Play Games with your Family. Those who do, have a great deal of fun.
9. Buy from Local Merchants and Local Farmers. This way you get to truly know about the food you're eating, and supporting local merchants helps keep the community together. Stay away from "Made in China", WalMart and other Multinational Conglomerates when you can.
10. Share your Knowledge.
11. Support Home Schooling.
12. Pick up Trash you see lying around.
13. Organize Pot Lucks and invite all of your Neighbors to it including the grumpy old Curmudgeon who lives down the street.
14. Honor your Elders.
15. Help Children.
16. Read stories out loud.
17. Go Dancing. Start a Street Dance.
18. Do some Bird Watching and enjoy the songs they sing.
19. Put up a Swing, even if it's an old Rubber Tire hanging from a rope.
20. Hold open a Door for someone carrying a big, heavy load.
21. Barter. Cash may be King, but Barter is Smarter.
22. Start a Tradition such as planting a Food bearing Tree every time a Child is born.
23. Ask Questions.
24. Hire young people for odd jobs.
25. Cook and Bake extra so you can share.
26. If you need help, ask for it.
27. Sing as if no one is listening. Join a Choir or a local Glee Club.
28. Teach a Child something.
29. Before you react in anger, take a moment to listen and consider what you really wish to communicate.
30. Help settle an Argument or a Conflict.
31. Do your best to understand others, even if you don't speak the language.
Realize that even though that foreigner you just met doesn't understand your language, he is still doing his best to Survive, just as you are.
His children love, feel, and hurt just as yours do.
32. Talk to Strangers.
33. Learn about other Cultures through their Art, and Poetry. Get a Pen Pal from another Country.
34. Act Locally. Think Globally.
35. Read the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Then pass it around to all of your friends.
36. Realize that all men have Dreams just as you do.
37. Forward Truth wherever you find it.
