We are all in the waiting room, like it or not. Sooner or later we will get there. There are no exceptions. 

Now here are some big questions we should keep in mind before we kick the bucket: 

• How are we preparing for this personal sunset? 
• What  is our contribution to this world? 
• Positive or negative input? 
• Are we coming out of the boundaries of our egos and going beyond and extending our hands to others, human and nonhuman alike?

Now is the time. Tomorrow will be too late.

Make today a big day. Get involved and let your best pro-social behaviour come out. You can make a difference.

Don´t waste your time just jacking around!!!

How do you get started?

Very simple:

• You can help an elderly neighbour by taking him or her in your car to the grocery store,
• If you spend long hours building muscles at the gym with your friends or jogging to have the stamina of a hunting wolf, you and your friends might consider going to Africa, for example, instead and dig a well in a poor village,
• You can adopt an abandoned pet,
• You can support a poor family in a developing country (We do),
• You can help Mother Nature by putting some restrain to your squandering habits,
• You can help a turtle or any animal in need (Video 1) cross the street before it get crushed by other cars,
• You can plant a tree or better yet, plant two or more (Video 2),
• You can give birds a helping hand in the dead of winter (Videos 3),
• You can plant flowers in your garden for the butterflies,
• Get involved with an association or club working towards the preservation of biodiversity,
• Etc.

                       Video 2. People get together for a reforestation project in Mexico.

                Video 3. Bird parade in our garden in the Pyrenees (Winter 2013)

The possibilities to help and be pro-social are endless and life itself puts them in front of our eyes!

Our lives are full of opportunities to be pro-social!!!

But do it now before the moment of truth arrives!!

When the moment of truth catches up with you, depending on how you acted and responded to others, be it human or nonhuman, the environment and life as a whole, the total sum of all the actions in your life will show on you face. 

Either you will go into eternal sleep with a smile on your face or with a grimace of rage, with your hands gripped to the sheets on your death bed.

Why wait to become part of the change for a change we all need to change what we must change?


                                                  WE MUST CHANGE THIS!!!

Cease the moment!!!! Transcend the boundaries of your own ego!!! 

Let your Me become a We!!!
