3rd Principle
Focus on Others
“This is what our brains are wired for: reaching out to and interacting with others. These are design features, not flaws. These social adaptations are central to making us the most successful species on earth.”
(Matthew D Lieberman)
Life begets life. This is an undisputed truth. Where there is life, more life originates. Take the evolution of Earth as an example. Once life started to appear, is started to multiply and evolve – a process that still continues today. As we start to discover life in other parts of the universe, we will find the same fantastic feature: Life leads to more life.
It is due to this innate instinct of life that we cannot exist alone. It is in our nature to connect with others to ensure that life expands and evolves. We are born from a shared energy (Intent) and this energy’s basic impetus is to beget more life – physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual. Our Being is saturated by the need to bond with other forms of life and to transform these bonds into powerful nodes of potential that expands energy and infuse the universe with more life.

Building deep, meaningful, sustainable relationships requires you to:
Always choose
Good over Greed
The basic premise of the 3rd Principle is that you get what you give. You have the daily opportunity to choose between Good or Greed. You cannot live a life of fulfilment, achievement, connectedness and resilience if you remain selfishly focused on yourself. What to get from others is directly proportionate to what you can give to others.
