Beyond the Financial Crisis Wake up your inner hero |
September 2008, Lehman Brothers goes bankrupt. That headline called my attention. The Financial crisis really kicked in. Many headlines have been accumulating since then. Governments have fallen, resigned, tremendous financial loses, suicides, It's a tremendous event. Maybe the financial crisis has also arrived to your life. Maybe the rumors of layoff have started to circulate in the he halls ways of your office. Maybe the rumors have become reality and you have suddenly become unemployed. Many people coincide that this financial crisis is unprecedented. For moments like this we need heroes. Heroes just exactly like you imagine. Those ones in the fairy tales, or maybe those ones in the comics. Yes, heroes, heroes that give us hope. There is a hero sleeping inside each one of us and crises just like this one are built for that, for waking them up. This global financial crisis has the added benefit to wake up all our heroes. Many of us when we think of this tremendously big event financial crises feel helpless. We feel that nothing we do, nothing we could say could change anything. This is a great delusion. The believe that our actions, our words, our dreams don't have power to change the universe is a great delusion. The true reality is that we, each one of us, are the actor of history. Right now! As you dream, as you think, as you ask, as you do, you are waking up your hero, you are waking up our heroes, you are making the impossible, possible. Imagine that each one of us will actually deeply connect with his or her inner power. This global financial crisis demands from us to act in a different way, demands from us to think in a different way, demands from us to ask different questions demands from us to wake up to new possibilities. This is the way I see our heroic nature: to have the courage to ask questions that were unspeakable; to come up with proposals that were unbelievable and finally to act in ways that would transform the world. |
