Project Colorful Planet is represented by 3 areas. The first one is about people from all backgrounds and color. The second one is about keeping the planet clean, green and colorful with all the shades of every color as featured in the amazing DVD called "Planet Earth." Finally, the third is to keep our lives colorful and beautiful.
1) Helping Humanity.
Do a good deed for someone else. Give graciously from your heart. Call an elderly person, visit a nursing home, or cook for a lonely friend. Sometimes a simple smile can open somebody's heart, and lift up their spirit.
Choose a favorite charity or charities. My favorite one is MannaRelief. I have been to their meetings, and I have seen what they've accomplished. I carry a button that says, "I Gave a Child Hope." and it makes me feel good about being involved in a good cause. Another charity that I support is Plant a Billion Trees, which is part of The Nature Conservancy and has many different ways to participate that you may want to look into. If you are unsure about which charities you would like to support you can visit JustGive.org, which is an excellent site that gives you many different categories of charities that you can choose from. I highly recommend it.
Volunteer. Even an hour a week can create a major change in your life and the lives of others. It will make you feel good in what you're doing in helping others around you. How much time do we really give to others? We can make a huge impact in the world if each one of us gave a little bit of time to helping others. It will definitely give your life more meaning and purpose.
I have volunteered in different areas over the years, including doing administrative work, tutoring, counseling, and helping people with cancer.
2) Keeping the Earth colorful and beautiful.
Mother Earth has done so much for humanity. There are so many websites on how to save our planet. Some of the ways you can contribute to saving the planet are: always recycle paper and plastic, use recycled paper, use earth-friendly detergent and cleaning products, walk more instead of taking your car, take public transportation more, leave the lights on as needed and use energy-saver bulbs, and turn off your computer at night when not in use. One person can truly make a difference in this area. Don't overlook the impact you can have.
3) Keeping our Lives colorful.
Create a written plan for your life. Dare to dream, hope, believe, seek, find and love. Write down your dreams and make a dream board of all that you want to accomplish. Set goals. Live consciously, love who you are, change your thoughts about yourself and others. Surround yourself with people who have the same wisdom, desires, beliefs and goals that you want to accomplish. Be grateful for what you currently have; it will make room for more to come in to your life. Forgive yourself. Eat a variety of healthy organic foods, exercise regularly and use intelligent supplementation. Spend as much time as possible in nature. It will give you a renewed feeling of life and will allow you to recharge from our daily hectic lives. It's always great to experience all the beautiful colors and scenery of nature.
This is the most important part of "Project Colorful Planet" because when you love yourself and live a well-balanced life, you are able to help humanity and keep our planet clean. Peace starts within you!
