What's on Your "To Cause" list?

Last fall, I created a "To Cause" list. Mine is a short list of three items that act as a compass in my daily doings:

1. Turn each frown upside down.
2. Introduce one stranger to another.
3. Help someone accelerate their success.

When I do this - especially #2 - people think I'm Weird, and they're right. It's a great thing when someone's weird is sustainable, yes?

Based on feedback I get from those I meet daily, I'm confident my "To Cause" list has a positive effect offline. Does it happen online as well?  I hope so - especially # 2 (again) - as I introduce bloggers to each other.

Phil Gerbyshak, meet Tom Vander Well. Tom, Phil. I value both of your opinions and thought you should meet.

Maybe it's not always so straightforward of an introduction on blogs, but as Kami Huyse talks about in The Culture of Generosity in Social Media, "...the posture of generosity is essential to the Social Media culture." Offline too.

I don't know about you, but I'm drawn to folks that consistently put others first. At work, in the coffee line, or on their blog. Mālama, everyone.

So, what's on your "To Cause" list?
