OUTER WORK
As you do the inner work, you may find greater clarity about how your unique skills and temperament could ideally be applied to the outer work. If you aren’t sure how to contribute or how to physically and financially prepare for challenging times, here are ideas for where you might start.
Achieve true sovereignty
10 economic realities you can create with persistent effort:
Affordable housing (though it won’t be luxurious)
Better work with fewer hours (get out of debt and don’t be a wage slave)
Protect your assets (avoid the lies and psychopaths)
Keep your integrity (don’t plug into the pyramid scheme economy)
Find the trustworthy (avoid sell-out profiteers and takers)
Positive solutions (don’t be victim to “divide and conquer” strategies; political narrative distracts; make real change, not slacktivism; build up your good, and don’t waste your time and energy trying to find the evildoers to punish or prevent them)
Find your people (we are stronger as a group; old fashioned community or “it takes a village”)
Contribution + commitment = collaboration (reject the endless series of hookups, unless that’s truly what you enjoy; commit to your group or to children and marriage)
Rural vs urban (optimize balance of wages, cost of living, time to live)
Voluntary simplicity (don’t chase after fame and money)
Develop sustainable lifestyles and economies
By promoting better choices and acting as norm-setters and trend-setters, we could continue to shift toward more resilience and self-sufficiency. People need examples and ideas for how to make changes. The following lists promote choices based on personal initiative as well as changes that would require legal or political action.
