what can we do to help now ?

call to action:
we have talked about service, service to ourself, service to others. let us give each others some real ideas that we can put into action now and help make life a little better.

- be real ! -be honest, speak your truth, don't be false, find a balance in each situation.
- keep your thoughts in check, watch what you put out, thoughts create
- don't judge or compare in your head; see another as your other half, experiencing in another vehicle fueled by different software and hardware. see the inner person 1st before you see the human exterior and makeup.

volunteer work
- homeless shelters, animal shelters, our elderly population
- humanity project
- as an opportunity knocks or comes, take it, while you are out and about, help, give and restore the faith in people
- personal 1 on 1 help with someone in need (friend or stranger)
- is there something within your own family that will help heal something that you can do now?
-voice your opinions, speak up and be heard. call in, write in to those articles that are not correct, express more positive thoughts or ideas. plants some seeds
- join or create a group to exchange ideas, talk about experiences, interest, share your beliefs, your own vision, build unity and cooperation

finding peace in your own heart
- build yourself up, not down. don't judge yourself so hard., be kind and don't over extend
- give yourself your trust back and follow through with those gut feelings to act
- allow love in and allow it to flow out
- live your passion; when you are happy and joyful, it natually extends to every facet of you. be that diamond you already are, now
- be brave, think outside of the box and act


re-member, there is no time or space, so each step, in each waken moment is there for each of us to create something new . there is no right or wrong, only now. now take it !

if you can think it, it can be
if you can feel it, it can be
if you will live it, it will be

i know i have only touched the surface, what other ideas can we share and put into action now ?

-one of the best things is to keep on smiling, at every pair of eyes you see...
-be a non judgemental soundboard for any and all who need it, including and especially strangers...
- get out there and let your light shine! just spend time out in public etc so if anyone feels drawn to you, you are there for them...
-never hold anger, or a grudge...as soon as you feel anger, try to get to the root of it and find forgiveness immediatly, even if you don't ever show someone your angry, your thoughts can and will still effect them...
-spend time with people who obviously need it, lonely, mabey not so appealing at first people, help them come out of thier shells through unconditional (but not enabling) friendship.
-as above, spend and give as much love towards (without letting them effect your attitude) the down trodden and judged, so they can learn to forgive themselves and seperate themselves from their mistakes..
- teach a man to fish, don't give him a fish (tough love) empathise by telling them ways you got better, but let them do it for themselves, give them that satisfaction and dignity, without holding their hand, or "helping" in any way besides "coaching" and "listening" ......

to be continued....my 3 1/2 year old just threw his ball behind the tv, lol....i can catch good with one hand, but i guess that was a bad throw i just did, lol.

continued...

-be a silent example, as much as possible.....instead of preaching, let people ask you what your secret is, (if they see you allways happy they will want to know) or let them observe it for themselves...
-realate to others in every way possible, for example, if they are venting, give them examples of when you too felt that way, and when you felt the way the person they are venting about felt.....in a down to earth way....by not hiding your past or present flaws either, showing that we aren't all perfect either, but are happy inspite of it....
-look at the bright side allways
-find humour in any and every single thing you can (this is one of the best healers out there, and can really help people come out of their shells)
-instead of volutnteering, i show a side of myself or my life that is or has been where they are, (so we are more on the same level)and show/help them in a way they feel they are helping themselves, instead of in a way that they feel someone more fortunate at the moment is in any way "better" or "above" them but that in fact we are all equal, and mabey those going through some tough stuff, are because they choose to learn faster or see more clearly sooner than those they feel intimidated by, or "less" than....help them see no one is ever "less" than, and in every situation that is hurtful let them know, (without judging the offender) that we have all unintetionally been the one causing hurt, or pain because we didn't understand a situation fully etc....

i guess i am really saying the same things from different angles lol...

good thread idea, i love reading from different perspectives to help me along more too.
