About this user
I am now even more educated, motivated, and powerful than I've ever been in my life, and I wanted to let you know that although I have not closed my eyes to the barbarities of what the world brings, I have found now that one cannot let himself be consumed by it either, just like hesitation in a battle due to a paralyzing fear of the reality and seriousness of our predicament, would cause us to get killed "that much quicker", we cannot let ourselves be plagued by the realities of our own environment. We must continue with our lives as if the end was not just ahead (because if not, then what kind of life would we live?) not just for our own sanity but more importantly because it dilutes our focus on the greater assignment in front of us, which is to become powerful enough in this world in order to actually make a change, which is difficult to manage if we are not FINANCIALLY FREE. I myself believe now with ALL my heart that for me to become wealthy will not only allow me to help give my family and loved one's the life they deserve but also allow me to have MORE so that I can in turn also GIVE BACK MORE as well, to my community, and to my world. I used to think that becoming rich was evil, but I realize now that becoming rich with "evil intent" or in a "soulless" manner is what in fact is evil. If we can attain our maximum level of achievement in this world (without having to take advantage of others) than we will have reached our true purpose in life, and not doing so I believe is a disservice to ourselves, our family and our species. For if you look at nature, ALL living things strive to be the best that they can be, animals live and strive to be comfortable in their environment and plants grow to their greatest possible capacity, you don't see trees stop growing mid-way because they've been taught that reaching their full potential was wrong! So in that sense I have come to truly believe that just like in nature, in the same way a fruit tree reaches its maximum potential, we too must strive to do the same, so that those in our environment can benefit from the "fruits" of our labor and so that our seeds can grow to be even "more" magnificent beings than ourselves. That is our purpose in life, to "create" so that we may "give". Creating wealth is not the same as taking wealth, we can make ourselves "wealthy" without taking anything from anyone else who doesn't in turn create something for themselves and give back to us as well. Wealth is not some limited rare natural resource...it is a limitless "ideology", an abundant self-renewing resource which knows no bounds and belongs to no one particular individual, but rather to anyone who chooses to create it! There doesn't HAVE to be a tight rope balancing act between the rich and the poor in this world, everyone in this world could be just as wealthy as the next, and it wouldn't impede our progress, because with more wealth, comes more consumption and in turn more production and innovation. The only time we see an "imbalance" of wealth in this world is when people forget or ignore the fact that they too can create wealth and instead choose to rob someone else of their own...While damaging in itself this act "by itself" is not enough to cause a destructiveness imbalance in the world, because if the "victim" of the theft realized that the wealth that was created and stolen can just as easily be created again (instead of dwelling on their loss) then we would have balance yet again....for someone to steal wealth from us is not enough to cause us to be poor, it takes our own self-sabotaging efforts to fully realize and impose that "nightmare" on ourselves....I love the world, I love humanity and I realize that it needs our help, but I also realize that if we don't strive to create "wealth" for ourselves and make ourselves "powerful" in this world first, than we have no resources by which to help, and we are powerless (literally) to make any impact and therefore fighting a loosing battle. We must ALL strive to reach our own "MAXIMUM" potential and whilst we must keep our eyes open to the realities of what's going on around us we cannot lose focus from our main prerogative ahead which is for us to help ourselves first so that we may help others...
"You can't help the poor being one of them, so let's all get rich and help each other!"
