Creating Your Island of Sanity
For some time now I've been helping individuals and teams make wiser choices in a mad world. But it's getting harder. And the world is getting madder.
I'm inclined to agree with American management consultant Margaret Wheatley in her 2017 book Who Do We Choose to Be? that ,"we can no longer solve the global problems of this time at large scale levels".
It seems that poverty, economics, climate change, and violence to humanity are out of our hands now. We need to be willing to use whatever power or influence we have to create 'islands of sanity' that evoke and rely on our best human qualities to create, produce, and persevere.
What does that island of sanity look like for you? Is it your family? Is it your community? Is it a cluster of like-minded individuals that you feel compelled to protect?
