The world's a-changing, and that change seems very fast right now. Am I alone in feeling this way? How do we deal with the speed of change? Do we choose to keep up? What past practices do we hold on to instead?
Everywhere I look, I see life as I have known it challenged--the world is changing quickly due to the fast pace of tech innovation, climate change, the migration of people and our interdependence and intersection as a global people.
As I experience this rapid change, I am holding on to these values:
- I value efforts that support good living for all
- I value efforts that work to help people of all ages and in all places thrive
- I value efforts that increase our awareness, intelligence, capacity and flexibility
- I value efforts that increase respect and care for one another
- I value efforts that make us healthier and happier
- I value greater generosity of spirit and resources
- I value innovation and invention that protect Earth's resources as well as the exploration of the universe
So I'll meet the ever changing world with these values. I'll continue to learn about new ways and choose those that enrich life rather than defeat good living. Onward.
