Built to last or built to flip?
This world is all about YOU right now! This is a period of history - despite current economic cycles - when the world is YOUR oyster. YOU will get to choose so much about precisely what happens in your life if YOU understand whether YOU are built to last or built to flip.
Those of us who are built to last are seeking to belong to a TRIBE. If you are this way inclined you are looking to build off your current experiences. You are looking to hang with people you really, no really really, trust. You are looking to work with people who share your values. You are looking for purpose and meaning in your life right now. You are relying heavily upon your 'gut feelings' - your intuition - when you think about your situation and prospects in a crazy world of complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty. You are looking at the big issues like Climate Change, peak oil, immigration, terrorism, security, etc as long-term issues that need a measured approach from a unified community. You are happiest when you feel you belong and that is when the tribe is gathered around you.
Those of us who are built to flip are seeking to associate with a CLAN. If you are this way inclined then you are looking to be creative and use your imagination to showcase your ideas on any medium you can including, YouTube, Facebook, etc. You are seeking to prototype your creativity. You are looking to find people who are highly imaginative and inclusive in their work and play. You are relying heavily upon your "creativity" - your intellectual frameworks - to fashion a place for you in a crazy world of war, price rises, economic instability, etc. You are looking at the big issues like Climate Change, peak oil, immigration, terrorism, security, etc through the eyes of the artist as you conger up personal and communal models for change. You are happiest when you feel a sense of belonging to a clan that has formed quickly to replace the clan you belonged to last week but has now imploded.
