Hearts & Minds - Information for ChangeSM Seven Steps to Change Your World

Communicating with others can open new doors in your life for a better future (Chinese traditional door, Yu Yuan gardens, Shanghai, China)

Find greater meaning and fulfillment working for a more just - and safe - world. Here are some suggestions:

• Realize that your decisions and actions matter - You have great, untapped power to do good.
  

• Consider how to make our world a better place. What will we leave our children? (See Inspiring Quotes.) You can change your life, too. - Steps to Complete Mental Health

• Read the news - Don’t rely on sound bites. Think about the long-term results of our nation’s lifestyles and policies.

• Talk with family, friends and others about the value of meaningful change. Try to move conversation beyond everyday pleasantries, when practical.

• Volunteer for an important issue such as the Environment, Homelessness, Child Poverty, Racism, World Hunger, or Human Rights. Choose what you find most meaningful for you and most valuable for others.

• Help make our democracy work. To a large extent, we get the government and society we deserve. Vote. Support good candidates. Lobby for additional local and national campaign finance reform.

• Donate to charities. We suggest at least 5% of your income. (More is better!) But make sure the groups you support use your donations well.

• Be creative. Think big. We know of no set limit to how much good you can do. Use your untapped potential to find greater fulfillment.
