I found DODAY: Do it Today at the beginning of 2015 and my community project has been making a difference to some individuals (hopefully many more to come) in Hong Kong. It is a project about self-empowerment and empowering others by using ONE wristband. So far I've got stories like a girl finally took courage to visit her father that she hasn't talked to for years, a lady who has been afraid of water finally took the initiative to register for her first swimming class, a man who finally started sponsoring child, people who go pick up their past hobbies, people who resign from jobs that they have always known that are not for them etc… this campaign begins by one question: Is there something that you have always wanted to do OR thought that you should do but you just never do it? Do you seem to have a reason for not doing so? Do you keep procrastinating? Telling yourself “you’ll do it tomorrow”? Are you lacking the courage to do it? It could be doing exercise, visiting grandma, showing your affections, confessing your love to someone, meeting a friend, travelling, writing a letter, reading a book, learning an instrument, trying a restaurant, apologising, cooking etc…. WHATEVER IT IS: Life is too short to wait- Today is the Doday! 1. Donate HKD $10 for a wristband- http://www.jotform.me/dodayhk/doittoday All money received (deducting cost) will be donated to charity-Playright Children’s Play Association. 2. Like our page: www.facebook.com/dodayhk 3. Wear the wristband as a promise to do something that you have been putting off. Big things, small things, easy things, hard things...as long as you WANT to do it, it is something WORTH doing! Wear it until you fulfil your promise! 4. Please do it WITHIN A MONTH and share your story after YOU FINALLY DID IT by posting it directly on our Facebook OR sending an email at dodayhk@gmail.com. Any language/form e.g. words,photos,videos are welcome. 5.*PASS THE WRISTBAND TO ANOTHER PERSON so he/she can do the same!
Note:
-DODAY and the person who passes the band do not bear any responsibility for the consequence of others' actions
-You are encouraged to make a voluntary donation of at least HKD $10 if you receive a doday wristband from others and think that it gives you motivation to do what you want to do.

I hope more people (especially Hong Kong people) can donate HKD 10 for a wristband, do what they have been putting off, share their stories and pass the wristband on! Meanwhile, I am seeking people out of Hong Kong who are interested in starting DODAY:Do it Today in their regions : ) Please contact me at dodayhk@gmail.com.
It is in giving that we receive
not sure if I should call it "teaching" but I would tell the person that if his inner voice is louder than all the opinions from the outside, he masters his life. Listening to your own heart is a life skill that can take a long time to learn.
