Pledges
A pledge is a commitment to take an action that promises to create change in your life or another's. Pledges are the cornerstones of any transformative change because they create upper momentum in your life. When you post a pledge, your tribe and alliances will rally around to support you and hold your feet to the fire.
To cast a wider net of support, post your pledge to the Futures Exchange. Change is challenging. With pledges, change becomes collaborative, exciting, and fun, so you'll never have to go it alone!

What do you want to change in your life? Sometimes it's as simple as wanting to feel more positive or connected to others. Sometimes the change seems difficult, like healing a broken friendship or breaking through a glass ceiling. But change is always possible, especially when you make a pledge and set your intention on actively pursuing the change with the support of others.
No matter what kind of change you want to make, someone can help. Making a pledge is an act of courage that demonstrates your capacity and willingness to change your life, or to support change in the lives of others in your community or around the world. Here are some simple examples of pledges:
- I pledge to stop smoking
- I pledge to stop bullying
- I pledge to volunteer on…
- I pledge to lower my carbon footprint
- I pledge to learn something new at the community college
- I pledge to give more compliments to others
- I pledge to teach others how to be water-wise
- I pledge to improve my golf swing
- I pledge to stop being impatient with others
- I pledge to help the Smith family during their challenging time
