2009: Where is the opportunity?
Do you feel like me as if we have come across a “cul de sac” (dead-end street)? As if the route we were traveling has no exit? As if the path we were massively traveling has suddenly been covered by a thick fog?
What’s happening here? Well, many things at many levels. At the economic level we are living the CONSEQUENCE of an imbalance at the SOCIAL level. And at the SOCIAL level we are living an imbalance that’s happening at the PLANETARY level…
- What’s happening at a Planetary level? Global Warming caused by an excess of CO2.
- What’s happening at a Social Level? We value the short term pleasure more than the long term fulfillment.
- What’s happening then, as a consequence, in the Economic level? According to Harry S. Dent, we are living the burst of the Financial (Stocks) Bubble together with the burst of the Real State bubble and together with the probable burst of the commodity bubble in late 2009…
I will not explain the interrelationship between the planetary –> social –> economic level. I will only give my five cents of where I think is the Opportunity in 2009 in the three levels, not only the economical.
- On the economical level the opportunity is on investing in green technologies and services directed towards an aging population.
- On the social level, we have the opportunity to re-think the values of our culture. May be we discover that we have lost touch with important values that were once pillars of our cultures…values like solidarity, effort, discipline,…
- On a planetary level, the opportunity is to reduce the waste of drinkable water. Learn how you too can save money and reduce your own contribution to global warming by making climate-friendly choices each day.
On a more spiritual side of the story, 2009 is a great opportunity to SLOW DOWN AND LOOK WITHIN. It’s a time to find within oneself the answers to any question or problem. It’s not a time for seeking answers and solutions “outside” (in our government financial aid plan, our company, our family or friends…). These are times for going deeper into our hearts. For that we need to learn how to observe our thinking process (use any meditative technique for that – discover “meditations for Busy People“).
