As we look around us in America and the world, much of what is important to us is already broken or is endangered, much of it unnecessarily so. Because it is people who have broken much of the world and endangered its future, it is people that can and must fix what is broken and build a survivable and thriving future. This is our moral imperative.
 
In order to create and sustain large, positive and timely change and a thriving future, the key is people’s behavior. People’s behavior is what most endangers our future. People’s behavior is what offers the best chance to build a thriving future. But for change and the behavior that brings about that change to occur, people must be motivated and able. The Behavioral Effectiveness Model (BEM) can be used to improve personal ability, motivation and behavior. Thrivism is the path to, belief in, and vision of thriving future for all – all thrive forever. It is hopeful path. Inspiring vision. Positive belief system. Positive way of life.
 
What is the key behavior change that will build a thriving future for all? Very simply and powerfully, be unselfish. Changing people’s behavior, from selfish to unselfish, changes the future to a thriving future for all.

But for transformation and the behavior that brings about that change to occur, people must be motivated and able. Thrive! is the motivating call for action by our leaders, all of us together, and each of us. Thrive! provides “next generation” strategy and the enabling framework and strategy for creating that large, positive, and timely change.
 
While helpful to issues (e.g., health) and subpopulations (e.g., the vulnerable), the framework and strategy are especially helpful for whole communities (including non-geographic populations, towns, cities, counties, states, regions, nations, and the whole world). Five examples demonstrate their use:
·       Achieving an unselfish world
·       Building a healthy future via HealthePeople
·       Building a path to thriving future via Thrivism
·       Building thriving communities
·       Building a thriving future for all
 
Building and Sustaining a Thriving Future is the most comprehensive approach for building a thriving future for all persons, all communities, and the whole world. And for all humans, all other creatures, and Earth.
 
We are now at a “tipping point” when our future is most endangered and we are most capable. We must act now and not fail. Creating and sustaining a thriving future requires understanding that it is we who have broken the present and endangered the future. It is only we, working together and using “next generation” strategies and tools, that can create and sustain necessary large, positive, and timely change and build a thriving future for all.
 
 Now is our time to act responsibly and effectively. We know failure is unacceptable. We know success is highly desirable and absolutely necessary. We have the necessary strategies. With all of this, now is the time for current and future leaders and all of us to step forward, and take large, positive and timely action. Now is the time that we must and can join together and jointly create and sustain a survivable and thriving future for all. Now is the time to activate and effectuate Thrive! and build and sustain a thriving future for all.
