Just as we are each responsible for our own choices, actions, and our own life experience, we are also each responsible for our collective experiences. Our collective experiences are a direct result of our individual choices and actions.

Our individual choices and actions are responsible for our collective experience in our families, our communities, our districts, counties, states, countries etc. When a circumstance or situation arises, there is a tendency to immediately “look” for “who” is “responsible” and our gaze is usually always at everything or everyone but ourselves.

When we find ourselves in situations that are painful, but not under our individual control, it becomes very easy to acquiesce responsibility for the circumstances to some other force, but fail to see our own individual responsibility in the circumstances. Our collective experience can only change or shift when we individually change or shift. The group’s experience is a direct result of each individual experience and choice.

We are ALL of US individually responsible for everything that transpires in our families, communities, districts, provinces, counties, countries…and our planet.

What is your responsibility in the circumstances of your family, community, district, province, county, country…and our planet?
