Change is Coming

January 5th, 2009

A couple of years ago, the original “Did You Know” video (this is the updated version) got me thinking about some of the changes that are coming to my world.

The magnitude of change that we’re likely to see in the next decade is enormous.

Coaching moment: Most of us have a hard time seeing the future. For all the changes in technology, nobody has invented a magic crystal ball yet. Our public media looks backward at what happened in the world. History has taught many of us, and we are rightly skeptical, about pundits that claim to know and see the future (and will share it with you–for a price.) What facts back their claims? Do you believe those facts? Are there any contradicting facts?

Despite the lack of a crystal ball, we will be affected by things happening in the future.

In times of change and uncertainty, I believe that it’s wise to do some planning. On the minimal side, sit down for a few minutes and think about your priorities. What is the most important thing in your life? Second most? Third? Talk with your family about their priorities. (You might be surprised to discover they don’t match your list exactly.) Next: what plans can you make to ensure the safety and security of your top priorities? What threats should you watch for?

Want to know more about possible changes on the horizon? Here’s a link to one man’s perspective: Chris Martenson’s Crash Course. He illustrates how changes may be pretty radical!
