Mario’s experience is a wonderful example of the process one can embark upon to make one’s work and one’s company a true extension of one’s life; to be true to oneself and mindful about how one does that.

Unfortunately, the field of big business has demonstrated a remarkable affinity for this behavior as well, which, among other observations I can point to, leads me to the conclusion that “big” for the sake of “big” … is just plain wrong.

Economies are in free fall because of decades of laziness as well as insanity, which I will explain briefly.

Whereas the American people have a Constitution that is perfectly charted for self government, the effort required for self governance is the kind of effort that many, if not most, Americans would rather let somebody else make.

The power hungry types (the insane among us, since absolute power corrupts absolutely) are only too eager to accept that power that is so freely handed over to them and to turn that power against anyone that would prevent their free and unfettered exercise of that power, as long as they can get away with it. They’ve been getting away with it for a long time, allowing that power to grow to a seemingly immense dimension.

This dynamic takes place in all social institutions, including our schools, which are now mostly diseducation centers; and in our financial institutions, where power mongers have long known the secret: that if they can control the monetary policies and supply of a nation, they can control it, period.

What’s the solution, then? How to make the transition from a society ruled by the insane to one that is sane again?

The larger complex issues are beyond the individual and will be sorted out by God. Suffice it to say, that the “immense power” I have alluded to is really only real in the minds of the insane, because in reality they have no power that you or I do not give them.

The issues that are more pertinent to you and me are rather simple. Live a sane, balanced and centered life, completely unattached to the trappings of the insane ones: their money, debt, materialism and vain values. In other words, live a life in which you reclaim any power you have unwittingly or otherwise given away.

Live that example for others to see and do for themselves and you will do your part to change the world.

Gandhi said it best: “Become the change you want to see in the world.”

I leave you with this old but true

Doing the same over and over will get you exactly that…the same old result! If business owner wants more or a different result they must be open minded to try things that are new to them or different at the least!
