WHY (wī)

After decades of expansion, growth, increase in wealth and being bombarded with “cool stuff”, “exciting activities”, being “overloaded with entertainment”, and “focusing on distractions”, our culture is waking up. We are demanding a deeper meaning to every day life. This demand for meaning is driven by our desire to understand the world around us and to have purpose in our lives. We humans are driven by our brains and our souls, both of which require meaning in order to be happy.
The change is happening in the collective conscience of our culture. It is happening in every part of our every day lives and it is seeping into our global economy. The change is good. It is based on the principle of doing good. Doing good with our every day decisions in how to use money in a selfless way. The change is found in the underlying motivation of our decision making process. It will create a change in our financial systems and it is changing the economy from the inside already.
Individuals are changing their financial habits and are thus changing the economy without the help of our governments, banks or large corporations. Our culture is growing up and the economy is reflecting this growth. The change is not based in fear. It is not based on having more than your neighbor. Day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year the economy is changing. It is changing from a desirous selfish consumption based system to a system that is based on doing good.
What does this mean? It means that an individual’s decision making process reflects the values of the individual. These values collectively create our cultural values and our values are changing. With this change, our decisions, actions, activities and reasons behind our financial decisions are changing in synchronicity. As we change from an era based in self gratification to a time where we learn to be happy without the need to possess massive amounts of material things, so changes the economy. This is The Progression.
