| The events of recent history have reminded us about the preciousness of life, the value of liberty and democracy, and the importance of taking actions in our own lives, during the course of our own days, that promote and support each of those greater values (and others that might be important to us).
In that spirit, and because we believe that every person, every action, and every thought can make a difference, we'd like to invite you to participate in a Season of Positive Action. Our Season of Positive Action is inspired by the principles promoted by the Season of Nonviolence, which was itself inspired by the visions of Mahatma Gandhi and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Each year, the Season of Nonviolence begins on or around January 30 and continues for 64 days, during which people participate privately and voluntarily by engaging in activities such as honest communication, compassion, tolerance, courage, listening and generosity of spirit. Whether you practice the Season of Nonviolence ideals at the beginning of each year, or start mid-year or later, it's always an ideal time to renew our dedication to the principles of and responsibilities related to cherishing our freedom, liberty and our duties as citizens and members of our communities. But why stop with 64 days? Why not look at launching a year-long season that begins with the Season of Nonviolence and continues right on through the year in an enduring Season of Positive Action? Action you can take today Begin by reviewing some of the links included on this page, and scheduling some time for reflection about how you might share your highest and best self to contribute to more positive interactions, a more positive workplace, a safer and friendlier neighborhood or community, and a more loving and kind home. You can make a difference; your thoughts and actions do matter. |
