Action

Action is more than just a service project. It can happen at any age and be as simple as remembering to turn off the lights when leaving a room. It really is more a state of mind than a product. Richard Black put together the following questions to help us think about action as more than just “doing.”

Doing

Have you DONE something? Given? Helped? Picked up? Turned off? Smiled?

Thinking

Have you THOUGHT differently? Changed your mind? Wondered? Inquired?

Feeling

Have you FELT differently? Empathized? Loved? Felt? Inspired? Worried? Admired?

Having

Do you HAVE more of something? More knowledge? Respect? Care? Determination?

Saying

Have you SAID something? Informed? Explained? Told? Discussed? Debated? Asked?

Being

Have you BEEN a different person? Changed behaviors? Been more patient? More respectful?
