IngredientThe ProblemThe Solution
LifeFulfillment
Pursuing afaulty life fulfillment formula isthe root cause source of today’s problems:
Life Fulfillment = Wealth + Lifestyle
……Where attaining wealth + lifestyle requiressacrificing integrity, people and socialresponsibility.Even though pursuing wealth and a desiredlifestyle are wonderfulgoals, they are
not
what creates sustainable life fulfillment.
Integrity-centered life fulfillment
is attainedthrough fulfilling our three core drives:1.
Authenticity:
Being who you truly are–thistranslates into self-integrity.2.
Connection:
Bonding with others–thistranslates into relationship integrity.3.
Impact:
Positively influencing the worldaround you –this translates into societalintegrity.
Health
Despite the highest health care costs in theworld, health in the U.S. is among the worstin the industrialized world. The key causes:1.
Conventional medicine’s
largest profitcenters are illness management (surgeryand prescription medications), not illness prevention & optimal/restorative health.2.
Food production
is largely focused onhealth-damagingfoods generatingthehighestdemand and the greatest profits.3.
Business profitability
has too often beenat the expense of environmentalstewardshipand employee wellbeing.
Comprehensivehealth
is much more thanintegrating mind, bodyand spirit. It includes:1.
Illness Prevention:
Daily exercise, sufficientsleep, environmentalhealth,food healthandenergy system health.2.
Optimal Health:
Nutritional supplements,health-supporting relationships, work-life balanceand passion, and proper lifeexperience digestion.3.
Illness Management:
Conventional medicine,through providingsurgery and drugs.4.
Health Restoration:
Integrative healingapproaches focusing on restoring health.
Money
Our economic collapse was createdby twofalse money formulasthat distorted our senseof “financial enoughness:”1.
Addiction to the false life fulfillment formula
(described in ingredient #1above)
by stakeholders and executives
resulted in reckless pursuit of short term profits at the expense of integrity, people, social responsibility and long-term sustainability.2.
Debtism replaced Capitalism:
Debtismis an unsustainable economic strategyinwhich an uncertain future is far tooextensively borrowed against in order tocreate the illusion of profitability in the present.We have looked to money to provide us withfar more happiness than it can buy.Restore orientation to
financial “enoughness:”
Individuals:
Pursue a lifestyle that supports building financial independence and doesn’t relyon consumer debt(beyond a financiallyresponsible home loan, car payments andeducation loans).
Businesses:
Generate profits by providing sociallyresponsible goods & services in environmentallysustainable ways. Principle-driven leadership and purpose-driven staff developmentinspiresmaximum productivity, loyalty and integrity.
Government:
Balance the budgetand eliminatedebt. Rewardintegrity-centered businesses andcitizen income generation. Don’t run projects thatthe private sector can implement more cost-effectively. Regulate as little as is necessary to protect the common good. Maximize utilization of tax revenues through sound business practices.
