Overcome Complacency

Today’s world scene is comparable to what was occurring just before the Second World War. Just before the war, nations argued over land, countries armed themselves and strong leaders appeared on the scene. Many people even recognized that these events would lead to war, but the world—particularly the Western world—kept procrastinating, choosing rather to maintain the status quo than to deal with the problems at hand.

Today, we have the history of World War II to learn from, yet we see the same mentality afflicting people once again. Russia is marching into Crimea and Ukraine, anti-Semitism is rising in Europe and other nations, an entire “state” of terrorism has taken over much of Iraq and Syria, and Germany is taking control of much of Europe. These events indicate coming world troubles, but many people have a complacent attitude over them. How do you react to the state of the world?

Are you alarmed by the rate and intensity of events occurring today? Or do you just brush it off? Having a shoulder shrug approach to the numerous crises occurring today is a dangerous mentality to have. In today’s episode we outline five steps that will help you overcome this dangerous attitude.
