Have you actually read, or even heard of, the UN Millenium Development Goals?

Many of us are attuned to the idea of "you have to have specific goals to achieve what you want" or new movies like "The Secret"( http://thesecret.tv/home.html )to help align us with the alchemy of manifestation...

Well, as a community of human beings all around the world, we are to gain by having specific goals to increase well being of our human family. And by putting our mind to these goals as a human family, they can be achieved!

Along those lines, global leaders gathered at the UN in September 2000 to set goals for a better life for our brothers and sisters around the world.

The Millenium Development Goals are a set of goals made for a just and sustainable civilization on this planet.

They stated it is our "collective responsibility to uphold the principles of human
dignity, equality and equity at the global level."

I would agree. Who wouldn't? Many don't.

Let's hold this vision for a better world by envisioning and learning more about how we can support the attainment of these goals:

1- Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
2 - Achieve universal primary education.
3 - Promote gender equality and empower women.
4 - Reduce child mortality.
5 - Improve Maternal health.
6 - Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and other diseases.
7 - Ensure Environmental Sustainability.
8 - Develop a global partnership for development.

The goals target dates are 2015
