Abstract: Abstract Thank you for taking the time to read these lines, because YOU will be able to shape the future of this planet. The world needs YOU to drive global critical projects within your area of expertise and within your sphere of influence in the future. After many years of working in a global context,my mind has observed that the global collective mindset is in no way different from any individual, country or any other collective network mindset. If you as a reader of this text do not take action now and start driving change from within, nothing will happen, and we will collectively approach a very unstable future. There is no secure place to escape, to hide, or to live on your own on the planet. If you ignore the reality, major new problems will result. We have been conditioned to compete, and competition has its advantages, for example, driving innovation and motivation. We have two choices. Either we suffer through a new world war, or we decide on a gradual peaceful transformation of our global societies. We have been wasting global resources for centuries now. Energy resources that Earth has created over millions of years have been depleted within a very short period of time. But it will not be an easy task for everyone, as negative forces are a reality of creation. We need to strive for a proper balance in every aspect of our lives.
