One of the most Powerful ways to be Happier is by doing things to make others around you Happy! When you give positivity out it comes back in doubles. like a lovely echo
Join thousands of happy people in cities all across the World creating butterfly effects to sweep a wave of positive energy all across our planet and give it a big hug. Join the Global Party
Creative projects targeting societal issues locally, like homelessness, are suggested by our community, then broken down into small challenges in our Action Centre, which anyone can drop in and take on
Successful projects can then be recreated by Focallocallers anywhere in the World, and adapted to fit their cultural requirements. We want to empower everyone by showing that when we come together with a plan and a goal, we are powerful to make huge impact on specific issues and improving quality of life where we live
To change the world around you, you also have to change the World within you. Habits can be effectively formed by repeating one task every day for 30 days
Join other Focallocallers around the World using 30 day challenges to build positive living habits, together encouraging and supporting each other on an onward journey towards a happier, healthier mind, life and relationships
'I want to help [insert your favourite cause here], but i'm too busy'. The Action Center has been designed so now you can! In 'Chat' we suggest and discuss Creative + Fun projects/activities targeting local issues you care about, like, homelessness, young people in need of extra support, the elderly, etc
Then in 'Challenges' projects are broken down into bite size challenges which anyone can tackle. Drop a card into 'Complete' when its done, no more guilt over something you said you'd do but then got busy

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
We live in a time where most people are aware that the World should be a better place to live in, feel a responsibility to change the many societal ills we've inherited, and are increasingly frustrated by our lack of power to affect these issues we've inherited
Modern life is often so busy that its normal worry whether you can commit regularly to help a good cause, and there are soo many to choose from. We've turned creating positive societal change into play-time!
You can do it when you want, where you want, with no long-term commitments
Each positive action makes a tiny ripple of change within those who interact with it, and as these tiny ripples combine together positive actions in public becomes more and more normal where you live, adding to a wave which already exists and is growing
Play, have fun together, and reach out a friendly hand to those around you. We are part of the beginnings of a new, happier society awakening
