There are so many people hungry for inspiration and work that truly engages them and calls forth their deep gifts. There are so many people who don't like their work, who feel no meaning in it, or worse, feel compromised by it or oppressed by a sense of misalignment. I think that many don't understand their discontent, or even know that it need not be that way, but there is an awareness of hope or despair. Some consciously feel the futility of doing work that sustains the material, social, cultural, and psychological structures of an economy rooted in inadequate wisdom and unenlightened motives. But they feel trapped or exhausted. I think that a great many people suffer a general state of disenchantment with life and work, and a sense of being burdened by obligations and overwhelmed by confusion. I think many people experience a desperate longing to feel a sense of meaning or purpose or inspiration, and long for an opportunity to invest their energies, time, love, and life force... in REAL work.
As visionaries I think much of our work is to source ourselves in inspiration and create the structures that direct these abundant human resources towards work that addresses the great problems of our times, to create opportunities for "making a living" that truly do make a living.
This is just the beginning of the conversation...
