This is an interesting story about how the economy is transforming from a mentality of excess, to an attitude of frugality. Reducing the length of university education at the bachelor level may or may not be the "right" thing from an academic perspective. But that's besides the point I'm making here, which is that the basic principle of "do not easily spend what you do not have" is catching up with a society gone amok into a "debt as wealth" fantasy, where people thought they could spend recklessly without a reckoning day.
Well, the reckoning day is here.
Could it be that the wave of future prosperity is in frugality and respect for what one already has? Instead of mindless hunger for more and for what one does not have?
We are moving into interesting times... where timeless principles of success will re-emerge in many.

A different way to think about creative geniues
This blog is going to yet again shift into new territory. Lately, it's been intensively about economic insight and wealth protection. I will still share my research and thoughts with you on that important topic, because those who are financially self-sufficient and independent are freer than those who are experiencing economic lack.
Your prosperity matters. And it's not necessarily about how much you have, but about how self-sufficient and secure your wealth is relative to your needs and life purpose.
However, I will also delve more and more into what I believe is one of the primary sources of fulfillment for a mature and happy human being: understanding of and intimacy with the non-material creative process and causes of creative manifestation.
All material production and wealth that humanity enjoys derives from two fundamental sources, and usually a combination of the two: the abundance of the Earth and sentient creative intelligence. Everything brought to manifestation by humans was at first and a time an idea in someone's mind, but where did that idea originate? This is a tremendously important question for those who wish to understand creativity.
Gaining glimpses of the answer will equip you with more courage in your creative ventures.
On that note, below is a lovely speech about the creative process. It resonates with my belief that our job is to simply show up, listen, and do. Getting in touch with the creative process is each human being's birthright. Enjoy this gem!
