The Production-Consumption Spectrum For the Mind, Body, and Soul

in #life5 years ago

This morning I realized something: the more you produce, the more your life improves.

This isn't a statement about your income level. It's about your relationship with the world. Do you engage in activities that will increase your health, wealth, and relationships?

If you aren't sure, here's a simple test: Are you attractive or repulsive?

This isn't a statement about your physical appearance. It's about your relationship with the world.

  • Do your health choices attract more years and quality to your life or are you shortening your time on this planet?

  • Do you actually make money and create things or are you getting by on credentials and your job can be learned by anyone with a pulse?

  • Do try to give value to the people around you or do you try to take what you can get?

  • Do you challenge or comfort yourself?

We're all at different points along the spectrum and our position is never static, but the idea is that you spend more time closer to the producer end than the consumer end.

You can't always be on. That's not the goal. The goal is to be a net gain to your surroundings, your people, and the world. The only way to do that is to add more to the world than you take away from it. The only way to do that is to produce.

From the definition above, you see that you can produce in many ways. All that matters is that your actions enhance. Also, avoid the trap of believing there is a such thing as neutrality.

Everything you do (or don't do) adds to your life and the lives of those around you. Even that hour you spent watching a show on Netflix has an effect.

Did it make you smarter and more capable of affecting the world, or did it reinforce destructive thoughts and perspectives? Did you pass up a workout, time on your projects, or time spent with other people...or did you watch something with your loved ones to facilitate bonding? The answers aren't always clear, but there is always an answer.

Produce more. Consume less. This enables you to have a higher quality of consumption.
