What You Can Do

Resolving the dreadful economic, social, political, and ecological situation in which we find ourselves, and creating the viable, sustainable, and humanly-fulfilling global future that everybody so deeply desires call for all-out creativity-friendly actions by all of us.

The number of things that each of us can do is myriad. The only limit is our imagination. To illustrate, here are some of the very many practical ways in which each of us can help to build a potential-actualizing, humanly-fulfilling global civilization:

Foster a "Creativity Ethic" where you live and work: Promote human fulfillment and actualization of human potential as societal norms and the guiding principles of all parental, educational, social, business, political, and care-giving actions -- a human imperative by which the legitimacy, worth, or success of every human decision and action should be measured.
Create productive, meaningful, and fulfilling work for one another and for your community: In particular, facilitate work for people who cannot find government- or business-style employment; work that puts humanity back within the dynamics of the planetary community of all life; work that heals our traumatized generation and our Planet.
Create and sustain a creativity-friendly climate everywhere you go: Promote and/or reward psychological and social conditions that enable, inspire, encourage, and even expect people to develop and to express their special abilities.
Initiate a rethinking or reinvention of your profession, or what you do for a living: Help to align its precepts, assumptions, values, and operational procedures with the authentic nature of the human practitioners and stakeholders.
Contribute to the nascent "Global Creativity Audit™" project: Participate in the design, development, testing, and refinement of self-monitoring tools for determining the creativity-compliance of everyday decisions and actions.
Write letters, e-mails and Internet blogs: Suggest to appropriate persons that most of the psychological and social problems that are ruining the lives and destinies of countless millions of people around the world (anxiety, depression, alcoholism, substance abuse, infidelity, suicide, over-consumption, delinquency, crime, hatred, prejudice, corporate sabotage, militancy, group violence, fear, insecurity, etc.) are, fundamentally, a creativity crisis -- unfulfilled human potential, or the inability of the vast majority of people to develop and to beneficially engage their natural and most important quality as human beings. Suggest further that the solution to the modern crises and the global predicament lies in economic, social, and political arrangements that allow people to realize their potential -- to develop and beneficially engage their natural abilities -- and not in any other social, economic, political, or psychological contrivance.
Acknowledge, congratulate, or express appreciation for any creativity-friendly, people-enhancing actions you observe -- whether in the family or in the classroom, office, factory, place of worship, street corner, or market.
Proselytize: Be a creativity advocate or activist. Persuade friends, relations, and acquaintances that aligning our parental, educational, business, political, and care-giving actions with people's quintessentially creative nature and therefore enhancing them as human beings is easier, cheaper, more productive, more profitable, more viable, and ecologically more sustainable than any alternative.
Form, join, organize, and/or support local creativity action groups: Workshops, seminars, discussion groups, conferences, associations, Think Tanks, etc.
Post your ideas, suggestions, achievements, frustrations, initiatives, and calls for collaborative efforts.
Model the creative behavior you would like to see in others: Self-monitor the extent to which your words and actions enhance or bring out the best in the people for whom you are responsible, or with whom you work and/or relate.
Ad Infinitum.
