I am always astounded when one single event in our world has a profound impact on the entire global economy. It is now possible for one small disruption in one country on the other side of the planet to affect our daily lives. How can this possibly happen?

You may not realize that this is the direct result of globalization. Many of our goods and services are dependent on a long supply chain that we cannot understand much less control.

In my opinion this is extremely poor planning. Would it not be better to keep our resources local instead of global? Would we not have much better control over those resources?

That is the subject for this week so join me for Local First, Build Your Life Around Place, Not Convenience.

A 12 Month Plan for Sovereign Living Part Two

Most certainly we have all at one point in time come to the realization that we were tired of someone else telling us what to do. We become weary of someone making decisions that affect our well-being when we have no say in the matter. No where does this come more to the forefront of our lives as when we are teenagers.

We reach that point where we long to be adults, make our own decisions, go where we want, when we want and do what we want. We want to have ultimate power and responsibility over our lives. We celebrate the day it finally happens when we are adults. We are finally sovereign individuals. But, is this really what happens. So join me for part two of a 12 month plan for sovereign living.

Welcome back everyone to the Adventures in Sustainable Living Podcast. This is your host Patrick and this is E269, which is part two the the 12 month plan for sovereign living.

A 12 Month Plan for Sovereign Living Part One

As you well know, independence, self sufficiency, and sustainable living are at the heart of much of my life. I talk about it, write about it, podcast about it and live it everyday. But I also accept the fact that if everyone lived the way I do, our society and economy would simply not work. Furthermore I realize that how and where I live is not possible for most people in our culture.

But what is possible for everyone is what I call sovereign living. This is simply a philosophy of self-ownership, where we take full responsibility for our lives, our values, and our decisions. It is about independence and not dependence. So join me for E268 A 12 month plan for Sovereign Living.
