Personal accountability

Greetings,
The state of affairs in our society (as prophesied) is changing.
 
More than ever it's imperative that we become accountable...
 
Unburden the system through accountability.
First, accountable for ourselves....
Then our family....
Then our community....
Then globally.....
 
Everything we do affects someone other than our self....
 
That is a huge statement....
Every choice affects someone else....
 
Your mood, the things we say, the things we do are all perceived by others...impacting them even on an energy level.
 
How many times do we get affected by the random selfish acts of others?
Only because they are thinking of no one other than themselves at any given moment?
 
The other day, we were at the gas station and a man threw all of his garbage out of the window in the parking lot...The kids were horrified, who was going to clean that up?
I doubt he was thinking about that, or that he had such a profound affect on them.
 
But, I send my garbage out to the curb every week, I don't really know where it goes, or the impact that has on my garbage man, or the landfill that I'm sure it goes to... because as long as it's not in my house, who cares?
 
It seems extreme, but the consciousness of recycling, using less, wasting less, would eventually make a difference....
 
It takes courage to look at the way we live in the third person, from a higher perspective..
 
Be accountable...take responsibility for who you are and what influence you have in your own life and the lives of those we love...
 
If enough of us did just that simple action, it would change the world....
 
Here is the thought for the day
      “God makes three requests of his children:
Do the best you can,
where you are,
with what you have,
now”

 African-American Proverb quotes

 
Namaste,
