Paradigm shift is not a future utopia. One can enjoy many of the benefits of paradigm shift 
as soon as one prioritizes time and money


A belief that our lives have meaning and purpose contributes greatly to the idea of paradigm shift.

Our society will not reach sustainability, peace, justice and social uplift as long as capitalism and its
consumer culture defines our society's values, goals and way of life. 

Capitalism and its consumer culture are skilled at turning legitimate needs into oversized wants


Positive human potential is our greatest renewable resource


Untold numbers of people all over the world are already creating significant paradigm shift in their own lives.

We have a mass Movement for paradigm shift just waiting to discover itself
