21st Citizens

Very true. I think change starts will passion. Find what you're passionate about, and get involved. While it is a "responsibility" for us to guide and nurture and, indeed, change our future, if we're first passionate about what we choose to be involved with, we will happily stay focused, rather than begrudgingly toil at a "chore."

I love the focus on "responsibilities". As a parent, this is a concept I am constantly reinforcing with my daughters but it seems all too often that we as adults forget about it once we've grown.

We need to nurture ourselves, our families and our communities. Treatment of our community as our family, being self aware of our actions and proactively being the change we would like to see in others can lead toward positive changes. Our responsibility as citizens is the opening of our minds and hearts to those around us.

being responsible can feel good. if it is having dinner with your family and bringing fairness back to the workplace. everybody is talking about responsibility these days. it is great to see the small ways we can start. thanks...

This gives hope for the world and restores my faith in human nature. We so need to dwell less on the bad that goes on in the world and acknowledge more the good by encouraging everyone to be more responsible and setting a good example. Bravo indeed!!!!!
