Are you ready for a wisdom-based economy?
According to Deepak Chopra, M.D., prolific best-selling spiritual author, adjunct professor at the Kellogg School of Management and advisor to companies like Coca-Cola, the future does not belong to the survival of the fittest. It belongs to the survival of the wisest.
Chopra is a global thought leader known for melding modern theories of quantum physics with timeless wisdom of ancient cultures. In a TV interview on The Wall Street Journal Report, he advised that if we pursue excellence through wisdom, success will follow. At a conference on peace, Chopra declared, "Survival of the wisest will become the new criteria for evolution. It is a new civilization based on wisdom-based consciousness, a wisdom-based economy, and a wisdom-based power structure and leadership."
What happened to our knowledge-based economy? According to the experts, knowledge is a commodity. We all have access to knowledge. Making wise decisions with this knowledge will lead to our success and ultimate satisfaction in life.
Wisdom is defined as insight and the ability to discern what is true, right or lasting. The rise of a wisdom-based economy is reflected in the current focus on sustainability and the growth of environmentally conscious businesses.
It's also reflected in the backlash against technology as wise workers recognize that it's not always in our best interests to be the fastest to perform a task or allowing 24/7 access. We are living creatures, not computers, and we need to reflect and re-energize. We need the time and space to tap into our inner guidance system for information and inspiration. It's common sense. It's wise.
Do you agree that we are moving toward a wisdom-based economy and, if so, how are you preparing for it?

How do you raise your vibrations?
At every talk and workshop, I ask my audiences how they raise their vibrations. I want to know how they maintain positive emotions and feelings to attract other high vibration people and circumcumstances.
It's fun to list the obvious--exercise, eat right, get enough sleep and take time to play--and the more original ideas like paying for the person behind you in the fast-food drive through.
One way I keep my vibrations high is to spend time in nature and, specifically, to take pictures of flowers in my garden. It gently forces me to slow down, be mindful and truly appreciate the beauty in my own backyard. I took this photo last week.

The downside of high tech
Technology can be just as much a hindrance as a help in business today. With information of any kind available at the touch of a button, we sometimes forget to take the time to get quiet and go within for guidance. We are less patient and our expectations for quick solutions are higher than ever before. Some of us are expected to be accessible 24/7 and that is taking a toll.
How is technology affecting you and what are you doing to cope with it? I await your wisdom.
