Say your last good-byes to 2018, the deeds done, and left undone. Take the arrival and promise of a fresh new year and give it purpose outside of yourself.

New Year’s resolutions come and go with most being forgotten, impractical, unachievable, or flipped off and tabled for the next year. Step up and make a simple resolution that is not only practical and achievable but also serves a purpose that keeps giving long after completion.

It’s easy to donate your time, skills, talents and money to causes that help your community. But what are you to do if you don’t have much time to give, the skills and talents for useful participation, or bottomless pockets full of cash for large donations?

Fostering a dog or cat from the local ASPCA may be a great idea, but not be suitable for your household. Whereas, writing a check for fifty dollars only helps for the short term.

Dropping a bag full of canned goods at the local food drive helps a family for a few days or maybe even a week but then what? The food bank will find itself in the same position as it was before you delivered your goodie bag.

Having the local Goodwill or Salvation Army pick up your old clothes and furniture has its useful purposes, but does it help to provide the much-needed services these organizations offer to their clients?

There are countless ways to give back to your community, but most of these actions only make a temporary dent in the overall need. Sometimes what’s required is something out of the ordinary – something that makes a statement and is self-syndicating.

Self-syndication is an essential element in serving your community and the causes in which you believe. Think of self-syndication as publicizing your favorite non-profit organization or cause while encouraging scores of individuals to follow suit. By undertaking the perfect action, self-syndication can provide funds, goodwill, and personal satisfaction.

Finding that perfect action can be a difficult task, much like trying to answer the age-old question, “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” However, when the perfect action presents itself, you will recognize it – just don’t stop to overthink it. Dig in and go for it. Embrace it. Enjoy it. And discover a better you in the process.

Taking part in an activity that is based on-line can be a sure-fire way to meet real syndication goals utilizing the depth and breadth of social media. Search online for #challenges, #gooddeeds, and #1x10tothe8th to find ways that might allow you to give back to your community in a fun, yet productive and self-syndicating way.

Don’t let another year get past you – having not achieved your resolutions or giving back to your community by way of your favorite non-profit or cause. The perfect project for you may be one that only takes a few hours total, from decision to completion.

Make your resolution pledge now, along with millions around the world, and we will see you at the winners’ circle once your task is completed.
