From Lynne Twist's website The Soul of Money
We now have the opportunity to live the most meaningful lives any generation of humankind has ever lived.
The halls of power have managed thus far to keep the climate change crisis at bay, the species extinction crisis at arms length, and the social justice crisis as an afterthought. Now we can see that the financial crisis is dramatically different. It is lodged in the hearts and minds of citizens, and is in the face of leaders in all sectors of society.
The opportunity in this global economic crisis is that it's forcing us to rethink our relationship to money and life, and to confront not only the financial crisis, but also all other crises which stem from the same root - Scarcity.
How can you use this financial crisis/opportunity as an impetus to live the most meaningful life of any generation?
- Each of us can begin by saying 'no' to the toxic lies of scarcity and choosing instead to live in the radical, surprising truth of sufficiency.
- Each of us can decide to treat this economic recession as the 'recess from excess' that is long overdue.
