Continuation of Part 1. Empowering your personal time.
A simple tip to start your process is to assess your situation. Find a closely relevant but open ended solutions. Then join or belong to like minded groups. You may also ask help from independent thought persons should you feel confused and need an ice breaker.
Your immediate task is to set your foundation straight from hereon. Achieve your goals for a sustainable future by utilizing your time to fully engage your gift of grace. Thrive and succeed outside the box, especially from the dogma of other people, which are hindering the expressions of your divinely endowed free will. Find in your time the will to express your personal touch for the realization of a better and useful discoveries that would not just benefit you personally, but practically your community at large, as well as its environment and local economy. Live with your dignity intact. Have a free access to basic human rights. But, be responsible for your actions.
In the value of time, everybody is rich and compensated with fresh 24 hours in every mortal day of a person’s life. In the value of money, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening and will not stop until every penny is taken to the top of the hierarchy, making the few who succeeded, obscenely rich and powerful, and perhaps still dissatisfied for not enough control and ownership rights to the country’s limited resources. While, on the other hand, the many disadvantaged, marginalized, and poor down below the hierarchy are left behind, rationed with aids and mercy.
Unfortunately, that is the game of the economic system that the society is forced to play in general. It’s a systemic issue that empowers more the money as the choice of weapon for financial sanctions and submission to global terms and rules on regional trading. Much like a rat race, but with real people continuously chasing for labor salaries and commissions. However, it can be uprooted with proper sequence and the relentless pursuit of the dynamics of growth and productivity in the . Refuse to accept that life is unfair.
How? When the population starts to empower and put more premium on their time over money, productivity starts first from the households and close relationships, more than the corporates’ industrial needs. Then it expands domestically, sustaining the national economy from the growth of the people’s direct participation to home-made and community-made productive centers and supply chain networks. Reinforced with the sustainability guidance and support from the local government through the construction of conveniently accessible public markets, cost effective infrastructure development networks, and efficient management and operations of public utilities. It’s a sustainability concept from bottom-up approach where money is not the beginning nor the end, but more importantly, from the time value of the individual’s productive footprints. A novel concept of growth and productivity that starts outside the privileged ownerships of the concentrated few. It mitigates the negative impacts of the highly contagious GCC diseases with treatment regime from the dynamics of sustainability strategies. Moreover, further along the stretch, it brings long term benefits to multinational corporations to profit on an industrial scale from the products and excesses of the domestic capacities of the economic centers through export trading, which allows readiness and parity of the local markets to the sought after undue trading advantages of the country’s exposure and participation to international economic cooperations. Creating international markets for the local produce, and sponsoring the research, development, test and evaluation of new local discoveries from competitive outputs and highly advance technologies.
How fast and effective will this growth and productivity expand, when the value of your personal time is empowered? The written dynamics in the sustainability strategy developed to challenge the status quo should establish those factors. We all know the outcomes of the illusionary wealth created by the economic system of capitalism and where it is heading. It terminates under the control of the machineries of money and the few hoarders of enormous cash.
It is therefore essential to leverage your personal time, to start discovering useful things and innovative processes, to produce better crafts, hospitality, services, bountiful harvests, etc. to enable your individual capacities to establish a new economic system with genuine equal opportunities for all. Equally imperative is the task to lobby for the pulling back of the public utilities into the hands of the people, to give those who have nothing, a fair exchange and tools to start earning from their self-generated productivity and wealth.
On that note, emphasize the important dynamics of the strategy, which is the principles of equal opportunities and fair exchanges. The country’s natural resources must be effectively managed by the authorities from the national government and be freed from profiteering, for the service and free utilization of the local communities to support the growth and productivity of its economic activities. Activities that would require the efficient utilization of public utilities, i.e., energy, water, transportation and communications, in lieu of the inefficient transactional factors of loans and debts. So the country can be freed from unnecessary excise taxes and duties, and other controlling terms and policies of financial institutions that usually do more harm than good to the economy due to the incurred burying debts and uncontrolled runaway inflations.
In my humble opinion, the real price of sustainable development and personal growth does not really cost money. It cost more to the root from your consumed personal time measured against your cumulative time valued productive footprints. It is the universal agent of the sought after systemic change for a better tomorrow in this disruptive times and recurring economic fallouts. It tells you what you are chasing in life and grounds you on what you really want out from this life.
