ELEMENTARY
Wednesday Feb. 10, 2016
I’m not hatching murder mystery thrillers. Or am I? Just recognizing three elements are critical to achievement, progress and struggle of every kind. Can all undertakings be analyzed against these three-legs? Are they fundamental to everything?
Survival. Basic. Maslow agrees, I’m sure. Root of all good, all evil, root of all actions by all human animals connects to this triad. Examine anything you’ve done, or struggle to do. Ask if you’ve got means, motive and opportunity. Well, do you? Of course you do. Why are you waiting?
Can do with less, but whenever we can at all, we have means. Raison d'être motive – not hypothesis or excusing. Nothing grandiose, simply being alive is sufficient opportunity. Square root of why must be means, motive and opportunity. No other explanation. Nothing drives us so – to thrive.
Never has.
