Where to Now?

Anyone who has been around Walt Disney stuff knows this song. The fact of it is becoming more real for each of us daily. Borders are a meaningless separation no matter how hard we try to use them for security, protection, or simply to keep others out. Something happens on the Chinese stock market, it's felt around the world. The U.S. has just experienced it's greatest trade deficit with China of staggering proportions. What does that mean anyway?

The World Bank loans money sparingly to poor countries with a suggestion for them to pay it back. Then we expect them to compete on a global stage to earn money to pay the debt; with interest. Then we come to the conclusion that there is no way they can pay it back, whatever proportion was truly used for the best interest of people.

Then there is the Internet which allows this communication. By the number of visitors attracted to this site I feel like I'm sitting in your living room having a chat. Sharing ideas primarily to establish relationship; not to be right about my thoughts. It helps to know that we are connected and probably thinking about the same things: security for our families; peace in the world; and enjoyment of the little daily things in life.

In spite of all the important people running the world we can still reach out to each other to share the truly important things in life. Maybe this weekend you might give some thought to what these are for you and your loved ones. For me it begins with my children; my significant other; my relatives; my work in global transformation; and the taste of a good cup of coffee every morning. I suddenly realize, I am wealthy!

P.S. Phil and I will be coming out with a new book very soon. Be on the look out for it!
