Why would you just walk by the plastic water bottles littering the parking lot of your work? I have pushed myself to do so. Doing my best to play my part.
What should I post?
Changing the world may seem like a daunting task. However, every one doing a little good = a lot of good. Remember: Push Yourself is
the act of stepping outside of your comfort zone to stir and cultivate a movement that changes the world.
"So, what can I post about? How can I make a difference?"
It can be as simple as picking up some trash on your way into the store or work. Here are some examples of simple to extreme posts in
each of the Four Push Yourself Pillars. You can post simple to extreme and everything in between. Every positive action is post-worthy
and every post holds others accountable.
