This time of year gives us the opportunity to stop and appreciate the signs of progress toward a better world for our children and grandchildren. It all starts within each one of us and it shows up in different ways to remind us. Sometimes, it comes in the acknowledgements we give one another that inspire us and help us know we are headed in the right direction:
Recently, I received a hand-written, signed note from Rafael Correa Delgado, President of Ecuador in Spanish on his official notepaper. The English translation is:
"I would like to thank you for your trust and support, as well as for your book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", which represents a great contribution to the new universal way of thinking in search of innovative and better approaches to coexistence."
As I talk about in my mini-podcast series, Our Geo-Political Crisis and YOU that was inspired by my newest book, The Secret History of the American Empire, we all have our own passions and unique talents to contribute. I am grateful for the tens of thousands of you that have shared your inspiring stories with me as I've traveled around the world. As we work toward the close of this year, I invite you to look for additional ways to expand your influence just by the way you live and work. In my book there is an extensive list of ideas to get you started.
Warm wishes of peace and love to you all,
John Perkins
