Act as a Mender

Our world needs Menders who act not out of anger, but from a place of deep compassion and responsibility. The current economy, where a small number thrive while many struggle to survive, highlights an urgent need for change. Menders are the ones who will bridge the divide—not by protesting alone, but by offering concrete, positive alternatives. Acting out of compassion to lessen suffering and improve the lives of others is the way we celebrate the Spirit. A Mender sees that each action, no matter how small, has the power to reduce suffering, uplift others, and add vitality to the world.

In the Spirit-driven model, it doesn’t matter whether a person is "successful" in changing the condition. Being a Mender is not about chasing “success” as society defines it, but about embodying a commitment to fairness, respect, and shared humanity. Success means awakening myself in the Spirit that can help make a better life for others. It’s about living as though the suffering of others matters, and believing in the possibility of a world that truly works for all. Menders act because they see themselves as part of the world, committed to making life better for everyone in it.

Ask yourself today: How will you act as a Mender, building the economy of compassion and equity? Each of us has the power to make a difference. In the end, success is not measured by wealth but by how deeply we live these values in every action we take.
