When I wrote this item on my love list, my intention was to attract someone who knows that we each have a critical role to play in this world, and we are here to make a difference. I believe we are moving into a new age on this planet where people, everywhere, are waking up to an understanding of the authority we each truly have.We can choose to live this life buying from companies that use materials and ingredients in products that are unhealthy to both humans and the planet. We can choose to passively accept governments that create policy favoring corporations over citizens. We can choose to declare that environmental problems are someone else’s to solve.Or, we can all choose to take responsibility for individual and global challenges. We can each do something, no matter how small.Humans have long been willing to turn over control to others or to numbing ourselves so that we don’t feel, and I believe it’s largely because we forget how incredibly powerful we truly are. As researcher-storyteller Brené Brown writes, “we are the most in-debt, obese, addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history.” Taking personal responsibility is the first step to creating a ripple effect.I invite you to say, "I will," and play the role that only YOU can play to create positive change in your life, in the life of your community, in the history of your country, and for the betterment of this planet.
