I hear a lot of complaints about the state of our world finance today. Most people are not satisfied with governmental policies, educational systems, war, poverty, homelessness, hunger. Our global economy is suffering. Many people are left without jobs. Natural disasters have been increasing. There's a lot of need, but most people I know don't do anything about it.
I believe that people want to see the world finance change, but with so much to be done it can be very overwhelming. Where do you start when you want to see the world change? Start by changing the world finance around you. Choose to do something that will brighten the day of a co-worker, smile at the cashier as you check out, say please and thank you. The following ideas are a few ways that you can actively get involved in becoming a world changer.
Advocate
There are many policies and issues that are already impacting the lives of others. Find one that you believe in and start speaking out their behalf, raising awareness of what that particular policy or issue stands for.
Write letters to your local politicians
If there is a great need for change, write letters to your local politicians. Get others to write letters as well. If enough people bring attention to the issue, the politician will be influenced in how they stand on the issue as well.
Volunteer
Learn about your local non-profit organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity or a local homeless shelter, and give your time. Every organization needs good, committed volunteers and opportunities are vast. Offer to do what you are good at and what you love you to. Opportunities can range from writing, to building houses, to serving food.
Support a missionary or volunteer
Global needs are great as well, but few have the opportunity to live in other countries and serve as a missionary or volunteer. Everyone, however, can financially support missionaries or volunteers who do have the opportunity to help in other areas of the world finance. Finances go a long way in third-world countries and your support will stretch further and impact more people than you ever thought possible.
