Words of wise counsel attributed to Tecumseh:
"Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."

I'd work toward having a more equitible economy and toward a universal healthcare system that follows a more integrated and wholistic medicine.
What/who changed my life and why
There are so many that it would be hard to list. The one that freed me from the fear of hell was Kim Chernin's Reinventing Eve. Three others that helped a lot were Paula Gunn Allen's the Sacred Hoop, Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon, and Clarissa Pinkola Estes Women Who Run with Wolves.
Do not be afraid of showing your affection.
Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate.
Men are more helped by sympathy, than by service;
love is more than money, and a kind word will give
more pleasure than a present.
