Dark clouds are approaching, requiring resilient people to step up.
No matter how you look at it, we are headed for a lot of turbulence and chaos in the future. To survive it well, you and your family will have to be flexible, adaptable, and resilient. No one aspect of our lives will be spared, whether it be economically, financially, security, privacy or future prospects of the next generation.
The world has always been a dynamic place, constantly morphing and changing across many areas of whatever civilisation was in place at the time. While we don’t seem to value the lessons from the past, we can clearly look back and see that all previous empires and civilisations have gone through various cycles.
“Civilisation begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos.” – Will Durant.
We are currently in the Modern era (1900–present), and all cyclical signs point to the end of our current civilisation in the next decade or two.
The scariest thing for me is the global Ostrich Syndrome, or the human tendency to avoid dealing with negative or uncomfortable information. We love to sit in the poisoned comfort of our “born-school-job-retirement-die” life plan that has been laid out for us since we entered formal education. Never questioning the reason why we’re taught all these things or how they evolved over the course of a century, we blindly, like some mindless herd of cattle, trust those who lead, govern, and report our news.
We need to upskill ourselves in the ways of the world
While I understand the ease of getting lost in the details of our everyday lives, so much is going to change in the next five to ten years that only those who start to awaken from their deep sleep of complacency will see, prepare and thrive. I am here to help you navigate a path through it all if you let me. I’ve been a student of Macro Economics, Environment, Energy and Geopolitics since 2006 and have been watching our gentle decline as a civilisation. I don’t want to be a doom-monger, but I remain disheartened by the sheer number of people who lack the basic skills to help them see what is coming.
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times” – attributed to G. Michael Hopf
This is why I developed A Resilient Path coaching programme. A method to help coach men (and the occasional woman) into waking up and taking control of the narrative of their own lives, as opposed to having it handed to them as a means of control and subjugation.

Remember when you were twenty and felt invincible. You had places to be and a life to carve out for yourself. Your status needed to be elevated, and you could take on anything that got in your way. You had a natural focus on what you wanted from life as you went about building your new place in the world.
Over the next thirty years, you’ve somehow lost that swagger and become comfortable with your lot in life. During this period, you were in the prime of your life, and you could react to anything with all the experience you’d gained from the old, hard-knock life. You put your head down and just got on with it. And that was your downfall because you failed to recognise the signs of decline. We all did.

Scan the news channels or scroll online on any given day, and it seems that civilisation is in a stark and dangerous place. Climate Change doom mongering, cost of living crisis, economic and financial meltdown, rampant wealth inequality, environmental systems collapsing, geopolitical conflict and wars, lack of trust in our leaders and institutions, plus every threat of pesky pandemics.
There is no doubt that these are all serious threats to our current civilisation and need to be dealt with. What if I told you there is a much bigger issue than all of these? Something inside every one of us that will make addressing all our planet’s issues virtually impossible to resolve effectively or peacefully.
