Anyone who cannot find it in their heart to stand, clap, and have a tear running down their cheek for DJ… well, I just don’t know what to say.
I hear from subscribers who ask me why I don’t have a paid option—it’s free only. It’s because because I’m an old thinker, writer, investor who has written for every platform in every medium and likes to help young thinker, writer, investors get their feet on the ground. Everything good in my professional career has happened either because of an idea I got from someone else that I developed and used or an idea that I gave away for free that made someone contact me and ask me to help them solve …

It would appear that the etymological root of the word Apocalypse would aptly describe the current unfolding of events. I feel this process of 'revealing' and 'the removing of a covering' is offering each of us a choice to either rise to an invitation/initiation to become our best selves (transcending that which held us back previously, creating alternative ways of living and serving Creation and our family of humanity by working to leave this world more beautiful than it was when we arrived).. or we can choose remain attached to a corrupted system and dominant culture of separation headed for inevitable collapse.
One can look into the role of anxiety within certain societies. The dread of collapse or say incoming doom is directly connected with our innate anxieties. But there is a fundamental difference between common fear and societal anxiety.
Leave the place better than how we found it …
A mantra used in ‘lean’ companies. They start in the bathrooms and break rooms. Continually improve so these spaces always stay clean. Then they use “fix what bugs you” for tiny things, that take a few minutes to 30 minutes or so to fix. Then there is sweep+sort+standardize always ongoing.
These processes merely put into words what you and I and others want to do - make our world around us better, for ourselves and others.
