I'm starting a new experiment called the Experience Project. I'm looking for regular everyday people as well as professionals who are interested in making a huge impact on the way we all seek out our desires and happiness in life. I believe that if people are doing what they love, they stop feeling resentful toward others and open up in ways that seem impossible. This experiment will prove that we're not so different from each other and that deep down, we want to see each other succeed.
How does it work?
The idea is to gather up a list of people and the experiences they want to share with the world without expecting anything in return. The system will work for itself because everyone who sees the list will know that they can contact you for instructions on receiving what you have to offer. This means that you too will be able to approach people on the list if you see something you would like to experience. The Experience Project will allow everyone involved to not only share their most exciting experiences with other people, but also have their desires fulfilled as the opportunity arises. It's kinda like a barter system, but for intangible experiences as well as material things. Consider it a barter of memories if you will. Best of all, when you add your offerings to the list, you will have full control over the whos, whats, whens, wheres, and hows. That way, you don't have to commit to an activity when you're short on resources. Ready to help others find happiness? Ready to find happiness yourself? Here's what I need you to do:
List Your Offerings:
Provide the project with a list of things you personally have to offer that make you excited about living and that you know quite a bit about. It could be anything such as horseback riding, canoeing, fishing, sewing, nursing, music lessons, gardening, parties, cooking, etc. as long as you know the subject well. Make it be anything you love to do that you could teach to someone else or allow them to experience through you.
Can you share something with another person without expecting anything in return? Sure you can. You do it all the time for your friends, your spouse, your children, and your parents. This is your chance to extend yourself and show compassion to the world while doing something that excites you to the core.
Spread the word
The more experiences we can get listed, the better the project will work out. There will be that many more opportunities for those seeking help and that many more opportunities for you to express what makes you happy. To share this page, use the options that open with the comment link below or simply retweet using the button at the top of this post. If you have a blog, you can link to The Experience Project using the badge on the sidebar. Your help will be greatly appreciated by hundreds... hopefully thousands of people.
Try to list as many offerings as you can think of that make you feel excited about life and that you would be willing to share without expecting anything in return. Type your list below and be sure to include your name/nickname, the state you live in, and the way you would like to be contacted whether by twitter, email, facebook, etc. My personal example is already listed in comments. What do you have to offer?
