Say that next month you are to take full control of the world. You need to assemble a team to help you run the planet and need a plan of attack to ensure the world is good place for you and future generations to live. Where would you start?

Think about it a moment…

How would you resolve wars going on right now?

How would you tackle environmental concerns?

We could make this a little easier by saying that you start with your country. What would you do there?
…

What about starting with you city?
…

How about your neighbourhood? Still difficult? Easier?

We can zero in more to our family, our home and then ultimately start with ourselves. As a member of a family, a neighbourhood, a school, a company, sports club, city, country, continent or union and planet the best place to start to make a difference is by looking at ourselves. What are you doing to make a difference? Do you treat yourself as well as you should? Are you giving yourself the right ingredients to flourish?

What makes a good parent? Are you a parent now or wish to be one in the future? Do you already have the things it takes to be a good parent? Are you trying to get those things now to ensure that you are a good parent?

Do you know what is going on in the Sudan? If you are to take control of the planet you really should. Do you know what is happening in the company you work for? Do you know how your cousin is doing?
There has to be a minimum degree of participation taken by a citizen surely. What is the moral or ethical minimum? Not breaking laws?

This topic has become too heavy for me too fast. It was only really meant to provoke some thought on social responsibility. I think we should find out what the minimum levels are to be a useful person and member of all the associations from partner through to global citizen and do them. Knowing your carbon footprint and being carbon neutral would be a good start. Saying hello to kid on the bus instead of ignoring them might be nice. Then anything over the minimums will give you extra happiness and satisfaction and take you closer to God or something.

Give it a go and let us know how you got on.

Cheers!
