Short term gain vs lasting impacts

[CreamCat]

99% of people in tier 1 of Spiral Dynamics seem to be obsessed with short term gains rather than lasting impacts. That's why most people are stuck.

Upgrading your physical infrastructure can give you short term gains, but it won't matter in a few weeks if you are not upgraded.

If you upgrade yourself, you won't see the results right away, but you will start upgrading your infrastructure and many other things for the next few decades. You will also upgrade your health and your lifespan. Upgrading your habits leads to lasting impacts while upgrading speakers will reduce the amount of money in your bank account.

Aim for lasting impacts instead of short-term gains.

• Short-term gains
  • Upgrading your physical infrastructure. (Upgrading speakers won't create any long-term impacts.)
  • Eating sugar and fast food
  • Video games
  • YouTube videos
  • Geo-political conflicts created to gain short-term advantages that will not matter in the long term.
• Lasting impacts
  • Upgrading your habits
  • Upgrading yourself
  • Upgrading your ability to resist temptations
  • Upgrading your consciousness
  • Putting yourself in a position that enables you to create long-lasting legacies.
  • Ending geo-political conflicts and working together to create a Dyson swarm around the sun
