What’s next? Part 1

What’s next is probably one of the biggest issues we face since we are born into this world. From the moment we are born, we start on our way towards advanced ways of thinking and a clear vision.

Then, when we can talk at length, we talk about the future holds in store for us, about disaster preparedness, prevention of conflict, economic solutions, fighting corruption, implementing democracy, changing governments, economic empowerment, building generations, securing humanity etc.

Next is a philosophy, a way of translating the feelings of people, dreams of nations, reality of truth and make inclusivity in communities happen. Next comes fighting poverty, treating illnesses, stopping deforestation and climate change.

Next I’ll need a loaf of bread, pair of shoes, a school place, a football ground, a park to play, access to transport, clean roads and a place to live. Each and every one of us has a next and there are over 6 billion of them.

What’s next? That is the challenge. We can move forward as global leaders, community workers, politicians, reformists, thinkers, professors, think-tanks and individuals.

What to do next? We must identify key priorities, locations and whom to take with us on this journey. Should we go down this road alone or together? The collective reading of our brains will help us understand the philosophy of our “nexts”.

To be continued...
