Values and beliefs
Can money solve our world problems? The answer is "NO, unless". We are guided by shared values and beliefs. As Simon Sinek explains in his great book "Start with why". The power of change is based on values and beliefs. Money is just part of the solution. We need insights and wisdom. Imagine that we grow into economical and spiritual adults. Imagine we are able to act as entrepreneurs and free spirits. This would mean true freedom. If we enter that stage in our life, we will be able to act in the interest of the whole and not just our own interest. It will give us a total view of how we can solve todays problems. We face a lot of challenges. Now, more than ever, we are able to unite with people all over the world and start organizing solutions. The internet makes this possible. Why should we connect with others? What is the why?
Quantum shift
For me, Ervin Laszlos book "Quantum Shift in the Global Brain" gives an answer to the Why. Ervin Laszlo states "We can't solve our problems with the same kind of thinking that gave rise to them". In this book he explains that we need a quantum shift in the world. It starts with thinking and acting different than we did before. If more and more people share the new way of thinking, the world will eventually experience a quantum shift in the world brain. I visualize this as all human brains that are reset at once.
The tipping point
When does this quantum shift of the world brain happen? I think the book "The Tipping Point", written by Malcolm Gladwell gives hope that it does not have to take long before we reach this shift. Malcolm Gladwell shares a lot of examples how little things can make a big difference. As the back of the book describes "the 'tipping point', that magic moment when ideas, trends and social behaviour cross a threshold, tip and spread like wildfire". So, I am convinced that if we start to share new values and beliefs we can change our thinking and at a certain point the whole world will share the same values and beliefs. That is why I started Mirror Yourself. To share my values and beliefs. I hope, that one day, we will look back in pure happiness and recognize the tipping point.
Why
So, why do we need universal beliefs and values? I think if we imagine that we, all humans and all other life forms, are flying through space on this beautiful planet of ours. And realize that we are surrounded by a universe that is still expanding. Think about the fact that we live together with 6 billion other people. And most of the time we spend in our heads. Most of the time we are worried about money. Is that the true meaning of life? I know the meaning of money. I understand perfectly the importance of money as a shared value to trade goods and services. Still, that does not mean that it is a goal in itself. It is an economical agreement that initiates entrepreneurship. And that is ok. But, if all we do as humans is initiated with money or is targetted to earn money, we miss other important values. We could even end up destroying our planet beyond the point of no return. If the economy stops growing we should stop printing money and stop putting more money in the system. Economic growth is not a goal in itself. We could use the slowing down of the economy as a solution to universal problems we as humans are facing right now.
Feel it
So, if we would agree to use human values as love and caring as a base for entrepreneurship, we can make a difference. It starts with connecting with another person. Imagine that all over the world one person would connect with another person and start to share love and care. I am talking about real connecting. A state where you totally feel and understand the other person. A moment, when you stop thinking about your ego. In that moment of real connection, all that counts is that you are human, you are on this planet together with that other person and all you do is breath. Just breathing. No other obligation than to live, be, just be. Look around you, listen to the silence, look at the trees, animals, flowers, insects, the sky, the clouds, the moon, the sun, the sea. Feel that this is one great place to be. Feel it, experience it. Stop thinking about it. Feel it. This life. My life, Your life, Our life. Other people, my breathing. Do you ever feel that way or experience this? And in that moment, think "what is my perspective"? What is our perspective. Is it just to spend money? And how can we start to build a new perspective?
Future
So, start thinking about the future, our children, grand children and great grand children. Feel the obligation and responsability that we have to take care of this place, we call home. Start building perspective for future generations. This will give our life meaning. This will make us all feel human again. Connected. And if something is holding you back. Just, imagine that one day, our planet would look like the moon. Without life. That could be the perspective if we continue the way we do now. As far as I am concerned, there are no excuses. To build the future starts today. So, continue connecting.
