How the World Works

“Should” and “could” and “ought to”, or “owes” and “I’ve earned” are fruitless. If you follow them, you won’t thrive, you won’t be able to “do,” you won’t survive.

Trillions of bugs die every day.

“So what?”

That’s what the world says, too. As far as the world is concerned, you and I aren’t much different.

“But it doesn’t have to be that way!”

Sounds nice!

Let’s make it better, feed the hungry, house the homeless, educate the ignorant.

I agree.

And we have a lot of work to do.

How will you thrive so you can do that work?

Find in yourself what the world will value so you can thrive to do it.

That’s how the world works.
