There is no greater insight into the future than recognizing…when we save our children, we save ourselves. ~ Margaret Mead
I think we have to save ourselves and then our children will be saved. What do we need to save ourselves from?
Inertia
Procrastination
Poor health habits
Apathy
You get the idea.
The world is going to be changed by me and you. Nobody is coming to rescue us! That's one reason I signed up to go to The World Domination Summit, with Chris Guillebeau and his unconventional and adventurous tribe.
Changing the world isn't easy. In order to do so we need to first change ourselves. When we change, we perceive the world differently, as if it has changed.
