Where Are We Headed?

If we do not change our direction,

we are likely to end up where we are headed.

-Chinese proverb

I love this proverb, and I’ve considered its application to my own life many a time. I’ve come to the conclusion that change comes whether you want it to or not; but in most cases, positive change favors those who take action. “Fortune favors the bold”.

As Emerson says,

Build therefore your own world.

As fast as you conform your life
to the pure idea in your mind,
that will unfold its great proportions.

A correspondent revolution in things
will attend the influx of the spirit.

I think this is as close as I will come to bringing up politics here.

I just wanted to ask- where are we headed? Where do we want to go?

What world are we trying to build? And what are you, and I, doing about it?
