I started writing this article to describe things that, while they seem intuitive or logical, are unsatisfactory to our long term thriving. Then, I realized as I listed them, that they sound silly and not intuitive or logical.
- It is always better to be busy.
- It is best to be aggressive.
- Being competitive will help you win in life.
- The pursuit of money is the key to success.
- Happiness is the next purchase away. Consumerism, Materialism
- Political success is defined by the consolidation of power, reelection and my political party dominating the other political party.
- Prioritizing getting through today instead of a solid long term success.
My guess is that you and I could brainstorm several more.
How did these things become so widely accepted as the way to live our lives? Perhaps, we could use this moment and this list to chart a path that will lead us to more substantial long term thriving? That is what I am going to do. Join me!
Just my opinion. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
