I have the feeling that the Democrats are in trouble

The Democrats are starting on the road to self-destruction. The reason being. I believe, is their philosophy or political point of view of collective, big government. “I know what’s good for you” no longer works and it will become less and less appealing as we move into a new paradigm of living where the world is more interconnected and individuals have more and more access to self-empowerment and self-expression. The world is not moving into a frame of sustainability, individual empowerment/greatness, transparency, fairness and abundance. This new global scenario is one in which the individual creates a collective, not where a collective tries to impose itself on the individual. That is why Democrats - even the ones I like - will continue to lose influence and power as we slip into a new global framework.

The new design

This summer I traveled across Maine. I also spent time in Boston and New York City. At the end of this beautiful trip I realized that America needs to make a shift into a new living design. Our current living model seems outdated. I felt it as I drove through towns and saw their living conditions. I felt it as I exchanged ideas with people of different walks of life. America has hit a wall. Our thinking has become complacent and stuck. Our individual and country stories need an urgent update; reinvention is a must. The rest of the world is slowly leapfrogging over cemented mind-sets and moving at high speeds towards new prosperity. I believe that a green, sustainable and non-toxic lifestyle model is the new paradigm and our new opportunity to find our edge again and a new global leadership. Of course there is a catch - it all starts at an individual level; it is bottom revolution and evolution. Yes, self-responsibility.
