Start Small 8

We must always remember that nothing in this world is given to us in perpetuity. We must continually earn everything we think we have, and seek to discover those things that we have which remain unseen.
We are part of a river with many tributaries., necessitating rowing back upstream if we haven't been paying attention.
In order to take control of our lives , we must build a foundation of adaptation and curiosity, qualities best developed in an entrepreneurial environment.
It is all too easy, living in a big house with stout walls and a sound roof, to become complacent.
To start working again in a cheap tent, in the open air , is to feel every passing breeze, every scent, every sound.
In other words, more responsive to the world around.
It's easy to imagine this substantial little house capable of withstanding the storms of life, but, in the little tent, it's more difficult.
Instead of walls, we, as entrepreneurial livers of life, must depend on ourselves.
America,
what are we thinking?
That our oceans will protect us?
That because we speak English, speaking other languages is unnecessary?
That "from rag salesman to rag salesman in three generations" is no longer valid?
What are we thinking, America?
That it's easier not to think?
About what we eat?
About who are true friends are?
About, not only WHAT is happening in the world, but WHY?
About where we have come from, and where we are going?
Personally?
And as a nation?
Nothing is unimportant.

How big can we think?

The larger the world, the more possibilities.
