Part Three of your Holistic Goal: The Future
Resource Base:
If we are to have the
Quality of Life we desire, produced by the Forms of Production we
identified, what must the resources we depend upon be like far into the
future?
The
final step is to describe the Future Resource Base needed to sustain your
desired Quality of Life. Ask yourself
what do I need to sustain these forms of production, and thus my QOL over
time? Look at who and what currently
supports you now. Make sure to include
these things in your assessment, as they will have to be in the future. Make sure you include the following three
components of the Future Resource Base:
1.
Yourself what must you be like in the future? Describe yourself as you hope others might describe you.
2.
The landscape what must the land be like in the future to support the quality of
life you desire? Describe the physical
landscape that you hope to live nearby.
Describe the natural resources either immediately under your management
in your region.
3.
Your community what must your community be like in the future to support the
quality of life you desire? Describe
the attributes of the community you hope to live in. Consider things like common values, civic activities, health
services, schooling, recreation and other community resources.
When

you begin using the holisticgoal to test decisions. But for now, be sure to celebrate!
When
you are ready, you may begin testing.
