Let's get back on the 'man mentality' lessons
Hunter Mentality part 2
In the olden days before these ultra efficient systems where essentially everything is provided for us, we had to hunt for our food or gather it somehow, someway. If we didn't find food, we perished. What this environment created was a type of person that had to be truly accountable. If you didn't go out and handle your business, you wouldn't survive. Another key characteristic of the hunter was that the hunter knew that he had to pursue. He had to make a conscious effort to go out and look for his sustenance.
One thing I notice about a lot of today's generation is the passivity. A lot of this was drilled into you from your schooling. Do what the authority's tell you and you will be provided for. Get 'the grades' and you'll get a nice, little comfortable job. However, we see that all of that is an illusion. The reality is that nothing is guaranteed, as your job will fire you in the drop of a dime. However, this passive attitude still remains. What do most people do if they get fired and can't find another job? A lot of them go into depression and allow themselves to sulk. We've removed the hunter's mentality from today's man and he no longer has any entrepreneurial ability to go out and seek his own sustenance when some company isn't providing for him.
We've also lost out on the wisdom that it is a great thing to have a stockpile of reserves. When most people get some cash, such as a cash return, what do they do with it? Most likely they will go and spend it all. Then they wonder why they are so stressed out and constantly under pressure at their job. They build no reserves, so if they in a jam where no income is coming in, they are stuck. Think about the story in the Bible where there were 7 years of abundance and 7 years of famine. If Pharoah didn't listen to Joseph when God warned him about this and decide to stock up during those 7 years of abundance, those 7 years of famine would have destroyed the populace. We live in such a time where there is enough prosperity that we don't believe we ever have to store up reserves. If you went to someone's house and you seen he had a couple of years worth of water and canned food stored up, you would probably think he was some 'conspiracy theorist' or some kind of nut because you've never lived in a time where you couldn't just up and go to a stocked grocery store. However, if it has happened in the past, it can happen again. This applies to money as well. If you have a large sum coming in, you simply have to stash some of it away as a fall-back fund because you never know when you will be let go from your job. Also, a large fall-back fund allows you much more independence, since you aren't forced to be at a job you detest.
One thing I learned in life is that things simply don't 'come to you.' If you wait for it to just come to you, you'll be waiting forever. You have to go up and get it. What does this really mean? It means you need to start training yourself to develop a stockpile of reserves, and you also need to develop a hunter's mentality to where you have some entrepreneurial talent. The reality is that we are living in a time where corporations exert a huge amount of leverage on any nation and their goal is profit, first and foremost. Labor cost is a profit, and they want you, a human resource, as cheaply as possible. If you simply leave your income up to some company paying you, you will be making less and less as time goes on, to the point where you can't even survive.
You ever wonder why they don't teach you entrepreneurship or personal finance in school? The reason is because school isn't intended for learning. It's intended to make you an obedient employee and a consumer. This will lead to someone who is perpetually in debt and a wage slave. It's up to you to choose to break that cycle or not.
