Ikea has a contest going on right now that is intended to make the world a better place. Ikea will give the winner $100,000 to fund a project designed to help make life better for people within your community.
It is the simplest idea really. But what should we do? I don't know about you, but I'm the queen of saying "If only I had time..." or "If only I had money..." Ikea is offering a solution to those disclaimers but still I'm stuck. What would make the biggest difference? There are a lot of organizations out there doing great work so I'm trying to think of something original. Original and feasible :)
Whether I enter the contest or not, I think its worthwhile thinking about what we could do to make life better for people. A great quote I read recently summed it up nicely, "We can not do great things. We can only do little things with great love." -Mother Teresa
I would love to hear your thoughts. What would improve your life? Any ideas to improve the lives of others?

Trees, definitely trees - lots of 'em, trees to walk under, sleep under, breathe better under and build benches under - for rest or romance or chit chat with a friend. These are the things that make life better... No one should be required to purchase something just to sit in a pleasant atmosphere nor should they resort to popping a squat on the filthy sidewalks of San Diego, just because the city could'nt spring for a bench! Good one Leslie, you've got me all riled up now!! Love you!
ReplyDeleteI think its something that would make it easier to donate or volunteer. I believe that people want to do those things but don't want the hassle of figuring out where or when or how. I'm not quite sure what the answer is but if we can use social media to plan flash mobs and the like, it seems like we could figure out a way. I'm thinking... (and it would help if I knew the first thing about social media!)
