"In order to be the change we wish to see in the world, I believe each of us must develop an open mind & heart, a spirit of goodwill, & a wild imagination. We also need to motivate others to better understand the forces that impact their lives, create goals based on their values & beliefs, & take action to become more self-reliant. Finally, we must encourage everyone to be good stewards & share their time, talent, insight, & resources in ways that develop transformative relationships & create opportunities for building inclusive, restorative, sustainable, & creative communities."
