When
we make the decision to create a better world, we are
making a decision to change our lives. If we want society
to make working for a better world its priority, working
for a better world must be our priority, too.
Some
will decide to dedicate their lives completely to this
goal. But for most of us, there are little things that
we can do each day to make our lifestyles more in line
with our wish for a better world. These 'little' efforts
will have a profound effect on our own lives. Our better
world lifestyle will be an important role model
for those around us. Together, as part of a coordinated
Better World Movement, the combined effect of these
'little efforts' by each of us will transform our society.
Living
our lives more in line with a better world lifestyle
is half of the equation for creating a better world.
That's what the first half of this manual discusses.
The second half of the book is about spreading the
message that we can create a better world together.
As we spread hope, the Better World Community will grow
and we will create the infrastructure to transform our
society, so that working for a better world becomes
society's priority as well.
