Hello, I'm new, trying to find my way around.
For some years bow that I have been saying that the only solution is by individual change in mentallity and perspective,
Finally I find others who think the same. Thank you for making me right .
Greetings! ;o)
Along with Clyde Grossman I am a co-founder of the Do No Harm movement: http://donoharm.us
Which is very similar to the Alliance for a New Humanity.
Clyde launched the web site back in June of 2006 and we are very pleased at the response we have received.
Clyde even offers free Do No Harm bumper stickers and wrist bands to any who wish either or both.
But of course there are always the “naysayers” and I am sure just about everyone here will run into a few as we attempt to create a better world.
I would like to share with you an essay I found recently that I hope will fortify our resolve as we reach out to those with little conviction.
This is the code that we live by at Goodnewsdaily:
Do good anyway!
By: Rev. Les Wicker
Some years ago I came across The Ten Paradoxical Commandments for
Leadership. Over the years I have tucked these commandments away for
safe-keeping, but ,from time-to-time, bring them out and reread them, as
they always are a source of strength and focus. Anyone who has ever devoted
himself/herself to a good cause, or sought to make things better for the
people in his/her sphere of influence, understands the need to rise above
the criticism of small minds and destructive people.
The progress of humankind was never accomplished by naysayers. Most every
great effort of whatever nature was thwarted by those who said it could not
be done and threw their stones. The good in the world has often been
accomplished in the face of horrific opposition, and indeed, history has
recorded its martyrs who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Sometimes even a
kind word or compassionate gesture is met with resistance and suspicion.
The challenge is always to rise above negativity, disapproval, and cynicism.
It is not easy to go against the current, or to be shot down when one's
motive is worthy or noble. The temptation is to throw in the towel and adopt
an attitude of "What's the use?" But true leaders never allow negativity to
get the upper hand. The good never wins by surrendering heart, soul or
purpose.
That is why one must always push on for truth, push on for a good cause and
push on for what is right. In the eyes of the world, such a one may or may
not wear a laurel, but in one's heart of hearts, s/he knows what integrity
and truth are all about. May you anchor your life in these paradoxical
commandments of leadership:
1 People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
2 If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do
good anyway.
3 If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed
anyway.
4 The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
5 Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
6 The biggest men with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest
men with the smallest minds. Think big anyway.
7 People favor the underdogs but follow only the top dogs. Fight for the
underdogs anyway.
8 What you spend years building maybe destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
9 People really need help, but may attack you if you do help them. Help them
anyway.
10 Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give
the world the best you have anyway.
