What would it take for you to break free from the shackles you create for yourself? What is freedom to you?
Few understand that they are their own captors, limiting where they will go in life, all potential is based on one's belief system, expectations, and actions that create success.
If I gave you the materials to build a tiny organic house with and you assembled them, the profit for your labors might be $20,000 in four weeks. Would it be worth the effort for the average person to put in 40-50 hours a week for that long to get that much in return as a reward for being the carpenter that forms the pile of wood, windows, and doors into a house you can live in for a lifetime? Oddly, no, for most Americans, that is not enough reward in the short or long term to justify them dedicating a few weeks of their life to learning how to make that kind of money over and again, year after year. Why do the people in need not want to do such things that might save them from the depression and anxiety that comes with being broke, having no money or job, no hope for getting back on your feet once knocked out of the American Dream, waiting area? Are they afraid to take a chance on believing in their abilities and their potential to do better in life, or is it simply that most people have now gotten too lazy, entitled to a belief system that they deserve to be taken care of by others who are working harder to get ahead and have assets or proof that they are making the effort it takes to succeed.
Some just figure others are responsible for their health, wealth, and home, but I do not understand what feeds that belief system. What is the rationale that others are responsible for your being alive and healthy or have any reason to assist you if you haven’t assisted others in need to demonstrate you are deserving of such mercy? Why, if you have not gone out and paid forward to helping others without being paid to do so, why should anyone be responsible for helping you? This question is seldom raised in the food lines, the welfare check applications, or the shelters that are there to help others in their times of need. If you want to learn how to be an organic tiny house builder, why are you waiting? Micro-funded materials packages are available to the right people willing to help build a network of Pure Salvage Outposts to act like local Co-ops for the people to gather, work together, and share knowledge, tools, and skills to make their local lives better. Help the elders downsize; the kids learn functional skillsets like carpentry, plumbing, and electricity etcugh to create small quality houses for the coming generation that will not want the subdivision life of shitrock boxes lined up on streets full of people who do not want to know each other. The strange world we live in called subdivisions is doomed to die, and many will live in them until the dozers arrive to clear the trash once called modern housing. There will be nothing to salvage from the houses built today except toxic waste. Where will we dump it when that time comes for millions of trash houses to deteriorate quickly worldwide?
It should be; to make people more aware that their begging for help and unwillingness to do what it takes to improve their own lives and others will lead to the general demise of the population and society, not the rise. So how does a community go forward when only a minority are left wanting to do the work it will take to make the world a better place for the millions who are falling through the cracks into homelessness, drug addiction, and health issues that are dooming the people who are unable or unwilling to do what it will take to fix them are becoming a burden on society that may be more than those remaining productive are willing to service at some point, drained of their desire to help by the endless need that is overwhelming our societies globally.
Sometimes you can create a solution that few expect, and if it solves the problems, others can learn to do the same and perhaps grow more solutions. The method is to do it without importing products or using toxic materials that drain the world's resources and create more pollution. YOU could downsize your footprint and live simpler lives, outdoors more getting exercise instead of indoors idle in front of a TV 8 hours a day. Sadly, many have given up living in real time to pretend by living vicariously as football players, basketball players, and soap opera identities they identify with and even experience the well-acted-out emotions of characters on TV and movie screens rather than experience the fullness of life themselves. Sadly, many miss out on living by pretending to live through others, thus letting their bodies decay, their minds distracted, and no longer exercising and growing the mental muscles but getting flabby-brained, addicted to sugars, alcohol, and other unhealthy things eaten in front of the TV as if that is a safe zone for self-destruction.
What will it take to awaken the millions subjugated by their addictions and dependency on doing little to no physical work to remain as comfy and sweat-free as possible? How do you convince those who are settled into their bad habits to consider changing course?
Age, experience, sex, race, and country of origin are meaningless when it comes to success. You, the Being operating that vessel with a name, You, the filament inside the gelatinous shell known as a human, but truly a Spirit living a human lifetime. Why are you here? What will you do with the gift, the miracle of life? Do you realize the treasure of the minutes or waste them with inactivity and no creative proof of your existence but a pile that gets flushed down the toilet each day? What are you waiting for to activate and become a powerful Being that can create solutions, tiny houses, or entire communities to make the world a better place for babies born into this crazy world today? The Gates of Roe, of Hell before being born is open for life to flourish, to be nurtured, and for the leaders of the future to be born while our human fertility is not fully compromised by v-damage that will never be undone. Honor the babies for the time is near when there will not be enough to care for; yes, our population decline from the Gate-Klaus plans is near.
