Not long ago on Twitter I “met” an interesting young man who wants to change the world. He’s got a fun blog, Suchielove-It’s what I Do. His mission is:
“To build a healthy community of individuals working towards their goals/wants/ and desires, in service of others, while developing a sustainable global future. To preserve, protect, and steward our world; insuring that all species have the necessary natural resources needed for survival! To live, learn, laugh, and love!”
Stephen "Suchie"
He is fond of exclamation points, and I like that. *grin*
He has a fun idea, to do a “good deed” each month and have participants send in pictures of it. I signed up and then failed to do it, but my excuse is I was ziplining and getting revowaled and didn’t have time. I plan to take February’s challenge.
I emailed Suchie some questions that came up for me as I reviewed his blog and he was gracious enough to answer them, even said he enjoyed the challenge of thinking about them.
What are the goals you have for people reading your blog?
~ The primary goal for readers of my blog is a healthier life style. Goals there in are:
1. Identify and work towards their goals/wants/and desires, in service of others, while developing a sustainable global future.
2. Develop an attitude of global stewardship for future generations
3. ALWAYS Live, Learn, Laugh, and LOVE:-)
You talk a lot about goals and dreams on your blog–how do you hope to help other people realize theirs?
The original concept of the blog was to simply inspire others through my actions.
I have since developed the premise further towards a community based approach
Challenge ourselves->Grow Awareness->Focus Thought->Focus Action->Achieve
We will routinely have blog challenges oriented towards executing this premise; ultimately culminating in Growth and Achievement:-)
How will you know when you’ve achieved that?
I hope to receive letters for short, medium, and long term goals.(I know that sounds cheesy but I love tangible letters:-)
I hope to have over 10,000 people participating in the 12 in 12 challenge by the end of the year.
My book will be a New York Times Bestseller.
I will be producing my TV shows intended to entertain, educate and stimulate sustainable/healthy growth.
As for global sustainability, I imagine that will be pretty apparent to everyone…when stewardship becomes a moral and political priority, we will be on the right track:-)
It says “building a community” how does that work?
It starts with individual blog challenges and the communal 12 in 12 challenge -> 12 good deeds in 12 months…come join the team:)
Check out the blog and join me for February’s mystery good deed! (I like exclamation marks too)
I ♥♥♥ exclamation points! And this blog has such a cool idea! Seriously, Toby, you’re giving me all sorts of fun finds ideas! Got any romance author recommendations, too? hehe
Thanks for the kinda words Toby! <–Yes exclamation point:-) If anyone out there wants to start a 12 in 12 group or simply has ideas they want to synergize about, let me know. I also just got NetworkedBlogs yesterday…want to connect? Make it a great day and thanks again! Suchie
