The final stage to full sustainability, or is it the first? To truly be the change we wish to see in the world, it is less about what we do and how we live, and more about who we are. To find yourself and thus be able to freely express your thoughts, opinions, and art to the world, you must first be able to rely upon yourself. Once you are independent, you can move into the realm beyond regular citizenship which is self-governance. Finally, when you rule your own life and have complete acceptance of all that is, you will find yourself overwhelmed with true and everlasting happiness.
