Stopping the Insanity

Posted by LeeAnn on July 25th, 2011 at 08:00am

Currently I am on a “news” fast. I am sick and tired of the current political theater designed to raise anxiety and blood pressure. I am tired of “news” that focuses on death, destruction and drama. What I want is hope, I want to hear about what is working. I want to be called to my highest and best self rather than wallow in human misery, greed and desperation.

It is not that I want a “rose colored glasses” approach to the world; I want to see what the best of humanity is up to. I want role models who are focused on making a difference. I want to see leaders and leadership that focuses on inclusive solutions. I want constructive conversations that bring out the best in humanity.

I am tired of the misuse of power. I am tired of self-serving, narcissistic, navel-grazing, entitled politicians who have forgotten who they serve. I am tired of corporations being given the same rights as individuals. I am tired of the wealthy abdicating their fair share of taxes. I am tired of divisions. I am tired of education being the scapegoat for our culture. More than anything I am bored and disappointed with the “shell game” meaning that what is in the news and focused on is distraction to avoid the real conversation that needs our collective attention.

And I realize that I am the key to solutions for what tires me. I have the power to do something about the issues and the insanity. The question is… do I invest in the moaning and groaning or am I willing to invest the time and energy for change?

I know I can’t do it alone. I realize I need like-minded community members who also want conscious change. What do you want? What are you willing to add to the conversation? What do you want to contribute in terms of sanity and vision?

If we want a future for ourselves and our children, we must become the adults we have been waiting for.

SO… I am wondering how to begin a grass roots movement towards sanity? Any ideas?

Thanks for wandering through my ponderings!
