What are you going to do? 

To say we are on the precipice of something big would be an understatement. As each and every week passes and I attempt to share some words of both wisdom and warning, the veil gets thinner and thinner to the point where it becomes increasingly difficult to be cryptic.

You might be looking around at the world today and wondering why everyone and everything has seemingly gone mad over recent years. Lies became truth. Medicine became poison. Fake became real. Immoral became moral. The bad became the good.

We may never know why it is happening. It’s probably something our descendants will study a hundred years from now. Likely, it will be the memes we share that will reveal our state of consciousness. Hey, we can’t lose our sense of humor while the empire crumbles.

Let the question of why be a problem for the future. If you waste the moment on why, you’ll lose the opportunity to ask a different, yet vital question: what. What are you going to do in this very moment? Actions, not words, will be what makes a vital difference now. So, what are you going to do to make the world a better place?
