On My Way Home: December 2009

The world has changed. Unemployment is up. Real estate is down. Poverty is up. Spending is down. The deficit is up (for many households and governments). Charitable giving is down. The number of people using food pantry's is up..etc..etc..

The world has changed. Some say for the worse others say for the better. When hard times strike we no longer know what to do because we have raised a generation that has never had to work hard for anything. A generation where everyone gets a trophy and loosing teams get to play consolation games instead of having their seasons end early. Maybe these challenging times will help our children learn the values of hard work and dedication that got lost somewhere along the way.

We need a different way of thinking. Not to figure out how to return to excesses of the past two decades but to chart a new more healthy and rationale course forward for ourselves, our families, our companies and our countries.

Seth Godin has organized a group of over 60 big thinkers, from all different walks of life, to give their insights and ideas about What Matters Now. Their thoughts have been compiled in a just released FREE ebook. Read it, download it, share it, keep the conversation going. No single person has all the answers but together we can create a better future.
