Changing the Definition of Success
The change from the current monetary system to a Resource Based Economy requires changes to what we value, what the cultural and personal definition of success is, and the defaults.
The Definition of Success
According to Western media plus the types of people the average person would say has ‘made it’ or aspire to be, the current definition of success is how much financial wealth, power, control and fame a person has acquired.
What we would like to see is people valuing themselves according to their contributions to humanity and the environment.
Only then can a real change be made to the way humanity is going. When we value ourselves because of how much we’ve helped other people, our culture will no longer tolerate those who are greed driven nor corporations priority of profit above all else. We will enjoy working with nature, animals, trees and the environment, instead of destroying it to power our outdated fossil fuel powered trucks.
Contributions can be a wide range of things. Everything from helping someone up the stairs with their bags to curing cancer, planting 10,000 trees or organising a mission to the bottom of the oceans.
What values do you use to determine how successful you are in life?
