KILL COMPLACENCY- LEARN THE LESSON - SUFFER TODAY - SECURE TOMORROW

Consider how we got to here. With all of the advancements, advantages and abilities at our disposal, somehow we must have failed to apply them properly. The fact is that Our abilities have not been in balance with our actions! When the world's potential does not match the world's performance not only does the world fall short, but everyone and everything connected suffers because of that shortcoming. What we are experiencing is a global/worldwide event. Therefore our response must be somehow coordinated into a global/worldwide response. The reality is that very few of "life's" experiences happen instantly or abruptly. Our accelerated pace may give us the impression that time is moving faster but it is not time itself, rather our sense of perceiving it. Although this may appear as an "all of a sudden" incident, this is actually a growing series of situations each ushering in and manifesting itself as one of many new globally significant events. "Life" schools us! But life is not like a typical school. Life functions in reverse from the way a normal classroom environment operates. When we attend conventional schools we are first taught a lesson, then given time to review the material before finally being tested. *In real "life," the test comes first! We either learn the lesson or repeat it! So it is important to quickly learn the lesson rather then keep retaking the test. There is little room for missteps or mistakes during our present crisis. The lives of people is the price we pay for error. We can replace loss business and money, but we cannot replace loss people. People must always take precedence over politics. It is the VOICE of the people that must have the greatest effect upon our plans, progress and policies as we precede. It is our duty to give our feelings and opinions a VOICE. Do you hear the people sing?

The solution to pollution
is to fight against the grime.
Our reactions to infractions
have to span the test of time.

---

It's an everlasting struggle
with a "never end" in sight.
We anticipate tomorrow to bring
"wrongs" that we must right.

---

Will you join us in this scuffle
be a soldier in the fight
It becomes a lifelong battle
​that we go through day and night. 

---

Let's overcome adversities
we may not see again
Although we'll win this skirmish
the real war will never end.

Corruption is the cause of our current crisis. This form of corruption is not cronyism, nepotism or embezzlement but one of ethics and morality. We have abused and corrupted the substance and resources of our environment for too long. The environment refers to our entire atmosphere within this bubble called earth. Everyone every thought and everything is included. Raping a planet, having apathy for its inhabitants, sucking its life's blood out of the very ground got us here. Burning its blood for energy, producing soot and simultaneously polluting it with its own by products brings us to this time of reckoning. As global leaders we have a global responsibility to all of mankind. *We must lead first by example among ourselves and then compel others to follow in our footsteps. We cannot continue to say that we are all in this together if "we​" is not all inclusive worldwide. We can do better if we commit to do more. We need all of our teams at work not in competition, but in collaboration. A President or King is obligated to stand for their country or nation but  great rulers embrace and stand for the world. We may not have control over all things, but we can influence most everything. We cannot change anything that we are not aware of, but once aware, we are obligated to work on those changes. What we permit we actually promote, what we allow we also encourage and what we condone we partake in one way or another. We cannot turn a deaf ear or a blind eye to problems. What we ignore today we enable tomorrow!

CONSIDER THESE SAYINGS. "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." "Bad left to itself can only get worse." "All compromise is based on give and take, however there can be no give and take on principles." "Everything in life is temporary except death." In life each of us forges their own path and constructs an individual map. Our creativity, compromises and choices all create that map. Most of us never put a "pandemic" on our map. The word "pandemic" may not be fully understood or appreciated by the general public. The invisible nature of this silent killer may not be enough to alert the average person to the gravity of its effect. This may be a result of today's information overload. The information age guaranteed us more data but not the most accurate, applicable or concise data. Information in a data driven world is about what the data indicates not the time or date we want. We may be facing a new scenario with leaders who know enough to "THINK" they're right but not enough to "KNOW" they're wrong. Humility is the substance of true responsibility and although caution underscores prudence, the "reasoning of opportunity" also knocks at the door of every temptation. Remember that both energy and opportunity are not partial or biased. Spiritual energy is always at work. It is contagious. The influence of its force affects or infects us all. Spirits like rumors and viruses are invisible. We see and feel evidence of their existence even if we are not aware of their presence. WE ALL CHOOSE THE FORCES OUR MINDS FEED ON WHETHER ITS FEARS, FACTS OR FAITH. We can concentrate on getting the rave reviews or right results. Today, we give to much attention to appearance. Looks and likes appear to mean the same thing. Practical solutions must take priority over colorful presentation. This calamity offers the world an opportunity to pause and reset priorities. This crisis speaks to the need for a common consciousness that works in balances with international competition. Shared authority helps to distribute both resources and responsibility. Face it, this is an unprecedented time. There is very little past history that speaks specifically to the unique set of circumstances we faces today. Many people are now choosing whether to risk their lives or their livelihood. Whatever we fail to address today or ignore tomorrow will be at our own peril. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, we are obligated to function as one people cooperatively sharing our one world. Let's set a new standard for success based on time tested truths not viral views.
