A big thanks to Deb C and Susan M for getting this conversation going. I think that this is an essential and necessary discussion and group-think that should be taking place far more often and in far more places. I couldn't agree more that starting a constructive dialogue is an excellent way to begin to lead the way forward.

I really like and agree with what Mike H has to say about a social shift towards embracing an abundance mindset. I truly believe that this is definitely the direction that we need to be headed in.

In today's society I do believe that there is a desperate shortage of class-act mentors and proper role-models. There are many things that may have contributed to this, it may have become this way under the radar, but it is what it is. I believe that this can have a definite impact towards a greater good. It also allows for anyone to step up and/or reach out.

Living for a higher purpose, regardless of what label you place on that, as long as it is based on virtue, I think is something that we all have to keep in our hearts. We should teach and exemplify the building of character guided by values and selflessness.
