If you want to change the world, measure a person by the size of their 'Heart' ...

[New Years Day, Jan. 1st, 2023]

The Christmas broadcast from King Charles III, from St George's Chapel, following on from (and in memory of) the late Queen Elizabeth II, reminding us of a heartfelt and devoted life of Service ... founded on Virtue ... and shining a light to the future ...

There were many profound elements to King Charles' III first Christmas message and listed below are just a few that very much chimed with me, and align perfectly with the Foundation's plans ...

"It is a belief in the extraordinary ability of each person to touch with goodness and compassion, the lives of others, and to shine a light in the world around them. This is the essence of our community and the very foundation of our society ..."

[eg. Good Points®, Kindness Points®, Virtue Points®, Community Points®, Volunteer Points®, Charity Points®, Environment Points®, Climate Points®, Mentoring Points®, Coaching Points® and Tutoring Points®, as well as Character Points® and Society Points® etc]

"I particularly want to pay tribute to all those wonderfully kind people who so generously give food or donations or that most precious commodity of all, their time, to support those around them in greatest need, together with the many charitable organisations which do such extraordinary work in the most difficult circumstances"

[eg. Food Points®, Donator Points®, Power of an Hour®, Volunteer Hours®, Charity Hours®, Community Hours®, Care Hours®, Environment Hours®, Mentoring Hours®, Coaching Hours® and Tutoring Hours® etc, and Hours translate into Points]

"Such heartfelt solidarity is the most inspiring expression of loving our neighbour as ourself."

[Mission - Creating a world where good is valued and people and communities thrive™, Society Points®, Citizen Points®, Youth Points®, Humanity Points®, Social Points® and Care Points® etc]

"So whatever faith you have or whether you have none, it is in this life-giving-light and with the true humility that lies in our service to others that I believe we can find hope for the future. Let us therefore celebrate it together and cherish it always."

[Purpose - Providing hope and opportunity and continuously improving well-being™, Spiritual Points®, Virtue Points®, Service Points®, Benevolent Points®, Humanity Points® and People Points® etc]

... all of which help us to take a step further towards our vision of ... 'seeing' a world where values are valued and the world thrives™.

The Foundation is focused on creating a world where good is valued in a new and meaningful way by introducing Good Points®, a unique measure of a person's 'heart', and based upon the good people voluntarily do for others, communities and the environment.

In one of the most inspiring speeches ever made US Admiral William McRaven [Navy Seals] said ...

... "If you want to change the world, measure a person by their heart, not by the size of their flippers" ...

... and we couldn't have put it any better, so we haven't ... and recognise a great inspirational leader ... and for us 'flippers' are a synonym for 'physical ability', 'academic ability', 'wallet'.

Many passionate individuals, groups and organisations, all passionately committed to making the world a better place, are now joining forces and collaborating to make this a reality and to change the world for the better ... and as we move into 2023 they together offer a beacon of hope, light and opportinity for humanity ... for individuals, communities and the planet ...

Wish you good health and a Happy New Year!
