Being prosperous is your job

Our assertion begins with the statement that it is instinctual for you to live a healthy, happy and prosperous life. Instinctual? Yes. Forget about being a human being and think of yourself as a tree.

A tree's job is simple, make sure the future has more trees in it. Propagate the species.

As a tree your job is to be healthy. Your species depends on it so you grow and create other trees.

As a tree your job is to be prosperous. You must consume as much of the available resources available; you consume the nutrients in the soil, cast your roots wide to gather all the water you can and spread your canopy to make the most of the available sunlight.

As a tree you don't care about happy because you don't have language, which is required for that - although, that seems to make things more vs less complicated as you will see below.

Your health and prosperity are paramount to you, the individual tree, because your individual tree success matters to all the trees of your species. You create a better probability of more and better trees for all trees.

I have worked with people seeking wealth, who, using the tree analogy would have to say:

Oh, I can't have more water than the other trees, that is not fair.

It is evil to consume more water, nutrients or sunlight than the other trees.

We should find a way to make sure that all trees have the same opportunity.

I feel bad for wanting to have alot of water, nutrients and sunlight.

I don't want to be one of those greedy kinds of trees who grows too much.

I don't want to be one of those kind of trees that is only concerned with growing, I'm a nice tree.

Language gives human beings the ability to invent brilliant philosophies but some are counter to our biology, physics and mechanics. Go ahead, have altruistic philosophies, I do. Just make sure they don't violate the laws of your biology.

The herd has been thinned for millions of years. You are it's best material to date.

It is time to be prosperous. It is your job.

Re: Is A Business Plan A Waste Of Time? Re: Is A Business Plan A Waste Of Time? - Usually if someone doesn't have the energy or commitment to follow through on their business plan, they don't have the commitment needed to run a prosperous business. It's kind of like a pre-test. That's just what I've experienced in the past.
Re: Join an inventor's group Re: Join an inventor's group - Are non-inventors invited and encouraged the Toronto-area alliance? I ask because I am not necessarily an inventor, but share an underlying motivation that many of these inventors have and I think it would be very prosperous to spend some time speaking with these kinds of individuals. I may turn into an inventor after all... haha!
Re: The secret to happiness Re: The secret to happiness - The secret to happiness is doing what makes you happy. We spend too much time in the modern world, giving ourselves reason why we shouldn't follow what it is we want to do with our time, and not enough exploring the things we want to do. One day I hope we reverse the current trends, and start realizing we could be a much more prosperous society if we were all doing what we wanted to do without guilt or pressure.
Re: Need some information on freelance jobs! Re: Need some information on freelance jobs! - Another very prosperous web site is getafreelancer.com! It is an excellent resource to get odd jobs (or big jobs) completed by coders and persons willing to do work for lower wages. You have to exercise due diligence in weeding out proper coders, but it is doable and very manageable. Good luck!
