Beauty of Beginnings-May 11th-To be sustainable is a start, the minimum baseline. How do we leave everything better?

To be sustainable is a start, the minimum baseline. How do we leave everything better?

To sustain is to hold up. To continue. To keep up. To endure without failing or yielding.

To be sustainable is the minimum we humans might aim for.

If we used the old model of a balance sheet, 

Negative  Zero   Positive

Negative is entropic.

Zero is sustainable

Positive is Syntropic and regenerative.

In leadership, stewardship, parenting, business, community, agriculture, economics, government, etc….surely if we aren’t aiming to leave everything better for our work, our labor, our investment, our time, our love…. to be Syntropic…then we are aiming too low.

Aiming to be Syntropic not just for the privileged few, but for Earth and all of her creatures.

To be sustainable is a start, the minimum baseline. 

How do we leave everything better? Now that is a question worth being the root question of every enterprise.

About Christine McDougall

CREATING A WORLD WHERE SYNTROPIC ENTERPRISES ARE UBIQUITOUS. SYNTROPIC = LEAVING EVERYTHING BETTER

As the Founder and Chief Steward of Syntropic.world – Christine works with leaders and enterprises globally who have a commitment to being the pioneers of enterprise change. Christine has the ability to completely re-imagine business, its role in our world, and its potential for a future for all humans. She experiences a deeper level of truth through applying synergetics (Buckminster Fuller’s anticipatory design science) and the working laws of Universe to enterprise design and human co-ordination. She has a way of articulating this so others can see it as well. Christine questions the most basic assumptions that drive our complex systems and can map that back to what is needed today. She is committed to the creation of Syntropic enterprises as ubiquitous.
