🌻 Downstream, things should be better

For everyone downstream of us who uses or is influenced by what we create or do, things should be simpler/better/easier -- because we did something. This is the formula for creating wealth.

The alternative is that we produce no value for others. It would be easier for someone to do whatever we're doing themselves, or in extreme cases what we are doing should not be done at all. This is the formula for debt.

Wealth can include more than money -- good will, positive energy, intellectual property, spiritual well-being, relationships, community, health, etc.

Whenever debt creation is greater than wealth creation for too long, the family/organization/company/country we're a part of collapses.

In whatever sphere we're a part of, do we create wealth or debt.
