We have a choice: to live in the past or to live in the future. Both will unfold into this ‘now’, this present moment.

One option is to live in the past, like being on a treadmill or a carnival wheel. We peel the past from behind and roll it out ahead, laying it down like a carpet of repetition to be relived over and over. For most people, this is life: a procession of habits, behaviours, patterns, ideologies, and beliefs, completely unaware that they are on this treadmill of their own making.

Many find comfort in familiarity, even when harmful to their well-being, simply because it feels safe. They live life by default, unaware that another option exists.

And we’re very capable of repeating patterns, even when they are harmful to ourselves or those around us. Just ask someone struggling with smoking to quit, someone battling weight-related challenges to change their diet, or someone with an abundance of resources to support causes that end suffering for children or animals.

The other option is to live in the future, to live life by design. Here, the past holds little relevance. Instead, a future is imagined and held in the ‘now’ of our conscious awareness. Each new possibility is pulled into the present moment, drawn from a wellspring of potential, enabling us to create a future that aligns with what we understand to be true.

Each of us is already creating the experience we call our life at every moment. Our reality and experiences constantly move toward whatever and wherever our attention is directed, whether it’s the past or the future, the wanted or the unwanted, fear or love.

And this applies not just to our individual lives but also to our collective lives as co-inhabitants of this Earth.

This is what we are being asked to do now: to live in a future that we co-imagine together.

For the first time in history, there are enough people aligned and connected with a common desire for new possibilities, just as we’re now witnessing a world straining under the weight of decades of poor management and self-interest.

And there is good news in this situation, because it fuels the motivation, the incentive, the reason, and the willingness to decide for something else.

The old paradigm of individualism over collective care has run its course. It’s out of time.

We can’t write another chapter in this story of humanity. It’s time to start a new book.

So you get to choose: either roll the past over one more time, by default, out of fear of change, thinking that choice will keep you safe, or you can make another choice.

Together, we can bravely choose to begin a new theme for humanity through collective focus. We do this by imagining living in an entirely different future, a future where all living things coexist in a thriving harmony unlike anything we’ve ever known.

New possibilities for our society, more personal freedom, new equitable social systems that provide care for all people and protection for all living things; our planet returned to its pristine state, its streams, rivers, oceans, and forests clean and pure once more.

All of this can be brought to life through our shared intention, care, and compassion for all living beings. There is simply no alternative workable future that can exclude empathy and other life-affirming qualities.

The pathway to such a flourishing future will unfold as we go, each step illuminated in front of us, as and when needed.

This transformation can only be empowered by you, by us, by our collective imagination, and enabled by our sustained, focused attention on that vision.

It’s the freedom you’ve always known to be possible. It’s what has always called to you, through your imagination, creativity, and the deep human drive to grow, evolve, and belong.

You know it’s time. You know you are ready. And now, you know what to do.
