On considering a glorious future

I urge you to adopt a positive view of the future. This is a very personal position I have taken after considerable research for the sake of my children and grandchildren. We want the good life to keep going, businesses to keep growing, young people to have hope, meaning and purpose and don’t forget the older. How we live must quickly adapt to remove pressure on the environment and that can be so much fun, the wild world is precious, no one wants to lose it, and in saving it we take the chance to thrive. It doesn’t get better than that! Doing something important and thriving at the same time is gold.

As entrepreneurs we are now in the circular economy implementation phase, providing endless possibilities for new and creative enterprises, and you need no capital to come to the party, just enthusiasm and a can-do spirit. A positive view is necessary! That is because it is unreasonable to expect first world citizens to accept a lower standard of living for the greater good, they may for a brief time but soon will rebel and ask those who lead them why they are not doing better. For our friends in other lands, the other world inhabitants who aspire to a higher standard of living. Why they cannot have it cannot be answered honestly, or with a straight face. They like what we have and wish to enjoy the fruits of advanced living: good health systems, better food, security, and stable government. They want what we have, and we should be proud of that and share what we have with them. We have done good.

I have heard those that oppose change we must make say for ideological, or reason only understood by them; where will the money come from? Well, it will come from where it has always come from, people pay for goods and services out of their pockets; these days bank accounts, we are becoming a cashless world. Consumers have the power and while good government policy and financial support will hasten positive purchasing decisions it is not essential. You can do it anyway. You have all the say, you have all the power. Now if a positive choice is more expensive then feel good about that, be proud of what you are doing for others. In time that cost penalty will change; solar produced electricity is now cheaper than coal, which was not always the case.

I wish to encourage entrepreneurs to grow positive businesses that create a new earth that can last forever or at least until the sun gives in. Nothing lasts forever, forever. It feels good saying I can do it. Try it now. I have a dream of a sustainable world. I have a dream of a positive world. I have a dream that creating it will create immense joy in our hearts, do it for your children, and people you have never met. Your choice is important, make it count and have a real purpose.
