Dare Big Do Good is a personal challenge to become a better version of myself and make a contribution to the world.I once chased the career/money/consumption focused lifestyle that seems prevalent in modern societies but found it severely lacking. An excellent life can’t come from socially useless work or endless consumer goods. I think more and more people are discovering that fact and are looking for more meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

Selfish pursuits and material goods can bring immediate and temporary gratification, but not the type of satisfaction necessary for a life well lived.

I want to do bigger things that make the world a little better place. That is what Dare Big Do Good is about.
