Your reality is your own reality. You are the only one who can change it.

If you like your reality, live it. If you do not like your reality, do something about it.

Don’t just talk about it. Do something about it.

‘Machines wear down and die. Living systems, if they learn and adapt, do not.’

‘A healthy living system is an intelligent learner. It can adapt and survive even though its environment is moving toward increasing disorder. But it must be actively engaged and aware, never losing focus on its environment. Failing to pay attention and adapt is a prescription for death.’

‘Sane leadership is the commitment to create the conditions for the finest human capacities- generosity, creativity, kindness- to blossom, protected from the external environment. It is the deep knowing that, even in the most dire circumstances, more becomes possible engage together with compassion and discernment, self-determining their best way forward.’

‘Once a system has tipped, it cannot reverse back to its former state. We need to learn to live with it, to adapt. And this is not always possible.’

‘A Warrior for the Human Spirit is a decent human being willing to serve an inhumane, indecent time.’
