Standing is an Action Verb!

I stand for being the one who engages humanity to create a world that is prosperous for all. While I am committing myself to "being the one," YOU are the one the world needs.

You are the one who will bring something no one else has to the table. And, we need that, whatever it is. I know this because it’s going to TAKE us all to create prosperity for all, and I know you have something no one else does. That’s all I need to know that makes you someone I want to stand with and for.

Speaking of “Standing,” I think of “standing” as an action verb. At first blush, ’standing’ seems so passive. You know, like I’m standing-here-waiting-for-someone-else-to-do-something kind of thing. I say that standing for prosperity for all means action. As someone who has been working tirelessly to launch a national, community-based action strategy to create prosperity for all, I have seen enough studies, heard enough talk, read enough books that say that creating a world that works for all is necessary for our very survival. These are all wonderful things that are vital for creating awareness about the systemic nature of our most pressing global challenges. But, alas, white papers, panel discussions, and books don’t change systems. PEOPLE change systems. People in collaborative action change systems. I say that we will create a world that works for all by engaging all in the work.

If I had money to put where my mouth is, so to speak, I’d do that. I don’t. I have something better. I have a concrete, ready-to-roll way to engage hundreds of people from all walks of life in concrete collaborative action to create prosperity for all that I know is worth asking you to stand for.

For now, I just want to extend an invitation to you and to humanity in general to rise to our potential now. The time is now. When we look out into the world, it is easy to see that the systems and structures we put in place in simpler times don’ t work in the ones we find ourselves in now. We don’t need to destroy the ones that no longer work, we just need to create new ones that do. That is what I’m inviting you into.

It is not useful to sugar-coat the situation nor is it useful to paint a hopeless picture of doom. Yes, there are many wonderful things going on in the world, bringing new structures and ideas into our lives that tap into our natural human quest for peaceful abundance. And, there are many things that have kept us from reaching our collective highest potential, while we hang on to old structures that simply don’t work anymore. There simply isn’t a single societal structure or system that works to create and sustain abundant living for all. There is just no other way to put it.



We can do better than this.
We were BORN to do better than this, and I invite us each to start, right now, in earnest.


Take my hand and join those of us who are ready and willing to build this grand bridge to our new abundant world. Please leave a comment and contact me if you want to engage!
