What Can We Do For Our Community?

It is easy for us criticize what is not effective in our community. It is much harder to spend our energy bringing about effective changes that work for us. It is exemplary to create what works for our own effectiveness but also what works for the mutual benefit of our whole community. We are co-creating our environment. For instance, if we have a moral position in our family, job, or profession, we need to lead that kind of morally acceptable lifestyle. Even our hidden actions have observers. Everything we say and do becomes an example for those who observe us in action. Talk is merely explaining what we want and expect. Acting out that message is putting our energy behind what we say.

As humans being active in a naturally changing world, what was traditionally accepted in the past, can become ineffective for the challenges currently being experienced.  We hear "words" and we justify our actions by those words, without really understanding the whole meaning. This can have disastrous consequences!

We need to go even further than talk and action. We need a moral and ethical belief system that guides our talk and actions from within our own consciousness. When we make our own choices, and when we accept responsibility for our own actions, we are developing our character and creditability. Freedom to choose bears the responsibility for the consequences we experience. Our younger generations need this wisdom. It starts at home.

When our choices are grounded in a deep consciousness of how we want to live as a human being, and how we can develop a peaceful and harmonious environment, then our seed serves as a mentor, teacher, parent, counselor, or therapist, are extremely valuable. I believe this is what our communities and our global society need during today's chaotic transitions.
