the person in the mirror- make the change

So often we glance at the news and feel shame for our species.
Global warming, pollution galore, a focus on money over anything else...
How did this happen?

Surely this is not the world our ancestors dreamed of creating ~

or maybe that's the problem.


Maybe most of our ancestors really never thought past their current situation and struggle?
Maybe they had no blueprint in mind and were just following what they were told was the "proper" way to do things. From Racism, to consumerism what we do is a programmed mentality from our experience in this life.

Our ancestors had no vision, and colonialism had us sent out to take over and consume.
To be fair, they didn't have the internet or indoor plumbing for most of it...

So who can blame them for their short sighted perception of reality?

In this age, we have satellites up in the sky showing us the oneness of our world yet we stick to the old process that is no longer working..

We have student loan debts larger then the job market ~ trapping our children into debt before they can even begin to figure out the full picture.

We have ever rising prices due to inflation, which is really people all slowly collectively raising their prices to get more money and as the minimum wage rises to balance the cost so too does the inflation ever increase.

Success in the business world means a constantly growing profit margin...
Yet one can only cut corners so much to increase this before it will inevitably begin to stay around the same amount.

Such a thing is considered a FAILURE in the business world...
even of one makes record profits...

This is the world we've gifted to the children, and it is not one that is logical nor sustainable.
There is much to consider in the grand equation of life.

Over the years, it seems that we wish to depend on some one else to resolve the problem: Government, business etc...

However it is a personal power issue we need to resolve in our individual selves.
We go to work, we create and set the tone and atmosphere.

It is us who raises our prices to get more money,
it is us who cuts corners to save more money.

Where we shop is how we vote for how the future unfolds in a world where money is power.
The solution will only come if we individually recognize this instead of trying to pass the power to some one else who may abuse it. 

Our world is suffering from a lack of responsibility from adults.
This world was designed for children....

Let's put that all together now.
We can do this.
