Why Thrive!

Thrive! is driven by the “human force”, our need to survive forever and desire to thrive forever.  This force is a large, positive and sustained driver of our behavior.  It motivates and enables.  It is a large, positive and sustained force for “everyone and everything” and for the “short and long term future”.  ThrivingFuture.org

If and only if we survive long enough, it will help create a surviving and thriving future.  But there is a near term threat to survival from those who focus only on “me”, “short term future” and “getting by”.

We will survive long enough and we will thrive if we change and focus on “me and everyone”, “short and long term future”,  and “surviving and thriving”.

Reduce Vulnerability in America/world

Alert! – In America and in the world today, we are all vulnerable to a greater or lesser extent.  Walking the streets and roads, you see it in our faces and hear it in our voices.
Action! – We need to minimize vulnerability via policies and politics that systematically stop forces that push us down to more vulnerable states and support forces that lift us out of vulnerability.  “Vulnerable in America (via)” is a strategy to minimize vulnerability that has applicability within and outside of America. www.VulnerableInAmerica.org

Endangered American Dream. Build Thriving Future.

A survivable future? A thriving future? Americans desperately need and want both!
Will America get it? That is the question.
The 2012 elections will be about today’s and tomorrow’s pain and fear.
Today we must end the pain and reject the fear. Partisanship must end. Nonpartisanship must lead and govern.
Tomorrow must be about a survivable, thriving future. Tomorrow must be about recovering and delivering the American dream.
