“Never let the world change who you truly are, let who you truly are change the world.”
Morality, Meaning and Success
The ultimate form of morality is allowing every sentient being to align with its natural way of functioning. Any individual, system or environment that influences others to behave in misaligned ways is immoral (making addictive products, meat and dairy industry's treatment of animals, forcing children into rigid school systems).
The strongest sense of fulfillment and purpose is felt when the work you are doing aligns with who you truly are on the inside (putting your soul into your work) because it allows the most essential part of yourself to transcend your own impermanent life. When this remains suppressed, people fall into depression, bitterness or apathy.
People achieve exceptional levels of performance and original outcomes when they approach their goals in a way that fully aligns with their unique brain structure and psychological makeup. While approaches to success that are a poor fit for them reduce their effectiveness and create the illusion of poor performance.
Fundamentally, this all comes down to aligning with your own authentic nature, and allowing others to do the same.
The current systems in the world today do not align with morality, meaning or success. Current systems are causing unnatural and unhealthy human and animal behavior and living conditions. It is not financially viable for many people to pursue their passions and make authentic and original contributions that are truly valuable. And in schools, universities and in the workplace, people are forced to work in ways that fit poorly with how they uniquely function, which lowers overall potential.
The result is an ineffective and dying civilization, heading towards dystopia.
Despite being faced with many manipulative and oppressive systems, you still carry your unique passions and vision for the future within you. Expressing that uniqueness is the solution.
Because when people are already doing what they love and living life on their own terms:
They feel at ease and become more tolerant and ethical.
They feel fulfilled, so they want nothing else, and therefore cannot be controlled.
They do a brilliant job at whatever it is they are doing, improving the effectiveness, beauty, value and quality of products and services.
Jarrod’s mission is to prove that authentic expression is in fact more powerful than the systems attempting to suppress it, and encourage others to take a stand and make their own unique contributions to bring life and vibrancy back into the world.
Understand what they are here to do with their time on earth.
Identify how they will best achieve that life mission, given their unique combination of qualities and characteristics.
Improve their resourcefulness and opportunity recognition skills to achieve rapid progress, regardless of where they are starting from.
