Why do this?

Don't you think the world and all the people in it have so much unfulfilled potential? I do. I want to somehow make a difference to everyday life. No big picture stuff, just small picture stuff, one person at a time stuff.



The idea behind - Be the change you want in the world - is to give something small as often as you like to anyone and not expect or even want anything in return for yourself. Just give for the sake of giving, a random or not so random act of kindness, I think can go a long way in making the world a better place. If - Be the change you want in the world - can somehow set off numerous chain reactions around the world of positive energy I think it may help to fulfill some of that potential. To show people what is actually possible with the slightest amount of effort.



I don't think that there should be any rules around the giving, except that when you give you let it go. You don't expect anything in return and you have no expectation that the person you have just given to will actually follow through on their act, you need to be totally detached from the outcome. Just do your part and let the magic happen.
