In creating a better world, it's not simply important to do your part; it's also important to encourage and support others in their endeavors toward a better world. To that end, I nominated Graydon Springs Outdoor Legacy for a Green Grant tonight. A few days ago, I received an out-of-the blue facebook message encouraging me to continue my 66 day challenge. It really made a difference to me because it's difficult to continue any kind of project without support from those around you. Encouragement let's people know that their actions are making a difference in positive ways, and it often re-energizes them to continue. This is why it's important to let other "world-improvers" know that you believe in what they're doing.
Encouragement is the fuel that feeds world improvement so that it can continue.
The person who wrote a facebook message to encourage me is one of the founders of GSOL. Ironically, I unexpectedly met some of the organization's other board members through a friend of mine last night as well. GSOL believes in community and environmental well-being, which are 2 concepts that I believe are key to creating a better world. AND, the members are so passionate! I really hope they reach their goals!
Good Luck, Graydon Springs Outdoor Legacy!
M,
ReplyDeleteSo, I've been following your blog off & on. Just recently I realized that we seem to have a lot in common in regards to steps toward making the world a better place. I decided to catch up on the posts that I'd missed & stumbled upon this one.
Considering that I've been reading but not posting, your mention of encouragement prompted me to do so. I think this blog & what you're doing is really neat & inspiring. For me, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who is intersted in some of these things. Your blog is also an eye-opener as to some of the things that would be so easy for me to do.
So, thank you & keep up the good work! Also, I guess I'll be posting more! :)
