Genuinely realizing how the universe works is an achievement. In fact, when we realize how reality really works and live according to it, that is when prosperity begins and poverty ends. When I personally think about reality, I think it’s about payment, recovery and benefit. Service and being served in that order also comes to mind. If you offer value at its best consistently without any doubt of what it is, sooner or later you will get something good that is beneficial.
In fact, I also start the article title with the word “paid” because that’s what we have to do before we get something, even if it’s “free”, “no obligation” or “no cost”. At a minimum, we must claim it for ourselves without expecting it to be given to us without what obligation to need to claim it. The last word in the title is profit because if we don’t use what we get, what is the payment worth in any way?
Payment, recovery and benefit is the true golden rule of service, reality and what works in reality.
To my way of thinking, trying to get ahead “for free” is harder than just paying the price and going the extra mile to do so and benefiting later from doing that extra bit that puts you “over the top” in said reality. Doing what is needed directly is always easier than cheating or stealing anyway, even if it is a bare minimum to ultimately benefit yourself.
We’ve all had times when we “just don’t want to deal with it,” but if you really want to get somewhere, even if it doesn’t seem worth it at times, you better win, learn, and work on growing. Because nature genuinely favors those who work smart, not so much. What I mean by that is: the mechanic next to Henry Ford was a better mechanic and did better quality work than Henry Ford in a Lasted way, but Henry Ford organized everything in a smart way and became rich. Do you understand what I mean by smart over tough? Hard work for hard work’s sake is one thing, but getting better, being smart, is the only way to not only survive, but really thrive and win. This is where the concepts of payment, reimbursement and benefit really work properly to generate wealth. Poverty is simply a misunderstanding and misuse of the law.
