Where's the opportunity?

A couple of days ago I published a video that gives an overview of our current economic crisis. After viewing it, I felt more aware of what is going on, but also somewhat down. In the spirit of A Simple Twist, I really wanted to think more about what opportunities exist in this mess.

One of the more inspiring ones to me is the revamping of our values. For the past 20 years, the focus in America has been on over-consumption and over-accumulation. More. Cheaper. Now. It's a little overwhelming! And as the video showed, eventually more is unsupportable.

So let's embrace the value of enough. Let's make enough money to live our lives in comfort and fulfill most of our dream. Let's have enough food to eat, for everyone. Let's share our extra -- time, money, and food-- with others, so they can have enough too!
