Your plan to save the world

That’s how you’re going to save the world – with your own gifts and talents.*

Everything in life is a team sport.**
Ryan Holiday

As far as we know, the multiplicity of species that live together on this planet
are the only complex forms of life in our galaxy, and
maybe even the universe,
And yet we live at a point in which our world may
become inhabitable, wiping life from the face of the universe.

Humanity must find a way to change the narrative that currently leads to the edge of a precipice. Your art and mine is to author our own lives.^

You have your day job, but, if you will,
You are a superhero who has found your way to Earth with
powers and abilities that can help save the planet –
It is unlikely that any of us have one all-encompassing plan for
how this will be accomplished, but we do have our little plans that mean,
Together, we can make a not insignificant difference, and
yours is …

Without perception of the unique meaning of their singular existence a person would be numbed in difficult situations.^^
