I believe in endless possibility. That tomorrow doesn’t have to be the same as today.
On a good day we use less that 5% of our potential, on a bad day we’re likely to use none at all. I believe nothing is impossible – unless we are thoughtless and lazy.
I also believe that our world is at greater risk today than ever before, but I know that we can generate the will and find the opportunities to create a better future than we can imagine today.
We celebrate our efforts to stopping global warming, the reduced reliance on sweatshops, a smaller number of toxic chemicals in product design, less obscene wages paid to CEO’s and preventing big box stores from destroying our downtown communities.
But quite frankly the world is way to messed up and in too much danger to simply aspire just to do less damage. We need to do more. Much more. We need to create a vision of the world we want after we stop global warming, eliminate toxic chemicals and reduce health care costs.
To create a possibility that both fulfills our highest potential and ensures there is a sane, safe and decent place for our children & grand children requires we envision a world that has yet to be born.
Why would any we want to do anything less?
