Changing your life requires a decision to start doing things differently, and then acting on that decision. But doing things differently can be uncomfortable. Jason Jaggard offers a solution with Spark: Transofrm Your World, One Small Risk at a Time.

The idea is to gather a small group of people (15 or less) who are committed to the same mission and can offer encouragement and accountability. The challenge is to do something each week that will make your life better or will make things better in the world around you. Past participants have taken risks such as reconnecting with an estranged father, collecting backpacks for homeless kids, volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, and living for one week on the equivalent of a Food Stamp recipient's grocery budget.

For anyone who's overwhelmed by the idea that doing things to change the world has to be big, bold, and daunting, Spark offers big changes with little risk. The result is a more exciting way to live by acting on a doable, achievable, beneficial exciting endeavor. As you move from an idea or dream to a practical action, you'll find that your life and the lives of those around you are changed for the better.
