Make it your problem means accepting that your personal and shared responsibility are intrinsically woven. Together they empower and lead to a higher level of self awareness. We all need to stop delegating responsibility until and unless we have done our share. Even after 'doing your share' there may still be more that needs to be done. Asking "what can i do?" and then acting on it is admirable, asking "what else can i do?" is amazing.
Today, look at your world, neighbourhood, home with a new set of eyes. Eyes that will see a problem, an issue, a conflict and not shirk, shiver or hide but step into the void and take some action - almost any action is better than the status quo9right). No excuses, no if onlys (if only they would ...).
Every day, I get to be part of feeding up to 2000 hungry kids in Calgary but on my best days I begin that action with the question "if your brother's child was hungry, what would you do?"

The Philosophy and Practice
You can make a difference in your world. You are capable of influencing, assisiting, changing and improving your surroundings and those around you. The world can be a better place for all of us. You can do great things. But none of this happens when you are too busy, too tired, too insignificant, too depressed or whatever excuse you chose to use. You can make it your problem (miyp) by taking action, small and large.
