The stakes are high

The journey, by definition, goes on and on and when we put in the effort it develops nicely.  And when we think about it, we realize that what we have is not to be taken for granted.  We are in so many ways privileged and when we get a moment to reflect, we realize that to keep it this way it is going to take focus, alignment, and effort.  Without this, we run the risk of going askew.  A good live lives in the balance - environment, society, learning, opportunity, all operating as best as they can.  The reminder of the significance, very important – in fact, the stakes are high.  We cannot slip into a world of casual and undisciplined actions.  We need to stand tall and do what we know is the right thing.  It might be a bit harder but the return on effort is the best we can get.  So, let’s acknowledge that in these crazy times that the stakes are high and we can keep it good for a long time with the right effort and alignment.
