It’s ours to make

No one owns the world: there's no one person who will save us, or make it all better, or fix our problems.

We share the world: that means we also share the responsibility of making it better.

It's on us. To come together and, every day, nudge the world in a better direction. To create a world of hope, compassion, and acceptance. And there's so many ways to do that.

We can show up for each other when we’re struggling.
We can reach out and lift other people up.
We can speak up.
We can hold those in power accountable.
We can fight for progress.
We can refuse to accept the status quo.
We can make brave and hopeful choices.
We can cultivate love in our hearts, and share it with those who we meet every day.
We can make decisions with positive ripple effects.
We can give more than we take.
We can seek out beauty and love and joy, to remind us what we're preserving.

Every one of these actions contributes to a better world. And this is the foundation of the New Happy philosophy, which you can read all about in my book: when we nudge the world, we also nudge ourselves into personal happiness.

The most important question we can ask ourselves becomes: how can I nudge the world today?
