The Foundation for a Better Life … is it enough?
The Foundation for a Better Life challenges us to live our values, and to pass them on. But many of us find ourselves struggling. How do we live our values, the values espoused by The Foundation for a Better Life when there’s so much wrong with the world?
Perhaps this will help.
What’s happening in the world is an outcome. It’s done. It’s already here. There’s nothing you can do about the fact that it’s already here, so when you focus your attention on what’s here and talk about it, you’re only talking about the past. Even when you’re talking about something as seemingly noble as the values by which you are going to live your life. Can you see that? When we ask, “How am I going to live my values in this world?” what’s embedded in that question is a vision of the future that includes the same world we are already living in.
Yes, the world as it exists today is going to continue on, that is, until it doesn’t. And the only way it will change is by first and foremost beginning to think about, speak about a distinctly different world. The book, A Life Worth Living teaches you how to recognize one world from the other, how to recognize your past from your future so that you can both live in the world as it is and invent the world in which you want to live in the future.
The work of The Foundation for a Better Life is important work. It gets people thinking and talking about the things that are most important to us, and inspire us. This book challenges us to go deeper, to see the past that’s embedded in our future especially when we talk about the values most important to us. The Foundation for a Better Life has us talking, which is key to creating a better world. This book teaches people to see and talk about the better world itself so that one-day we’ll actually be living in it.
