What is the Framework?
The Framework is the underlining structure that maintains the functioning of a system. The human body is upheld and guarded by the skeleton. All skyscrapers began with a solid foundation and the iron frame structure. The planetary system is regulated by the framework comprised of the laws of physics.
Every single life on earth operates on the same principle in fulfilling the following primordial needs –
- Hunger, thirst and shelter
- Procreation
- Longevity
- Belonging
As the result, the Framework that maintains and drives forward every single life from the beginning to the end is –
- Money
- Relationship
- Health
- Humanity
Money – In all corners of the world, the individual ability to meet the need for foods, clothes and shelters has been standardized by the local economy. For example, I am competing for the dozen of eggs, a pair of shoes and a roof over my head with people mainly located in proximity of the local economy.
Having a clear understanding of the local competition, and most importantly the individual’s own capability is an important step toward financial security.
Relationship – Somewhere along our species evolutionary time line, the need to connect to other beyond the self is hardwired into our consciousness – in the same way as hunger, thirst and sex are hard wired into our biology.
Hunger and thirst are automatically prioritized with high urgency, whereas, social connection seemed to give a false sense of free will – procrastination is default behavior for many.
Relationship may lack of immediate evolutionary sense of instinct, however, the quality of connection to others determines the quality of our lives and how long we will live.
Health – The quality of life is highly correlated to the strength of our health.
You and I do not have to have the genetic endowment and the commitment of long hours to develop an Olympian’s capability to have a full life.
Most of us if survived by the age of ten have fair bag of genetics and that if
with proper nurture and nutrition can lead to well rounded life.
A regular investment in this area will result in handsome dividends that rival the money in our bank – especially at the later end of our life.
Humanity – Religion, morality, Confucianism, life purpose and compassion are examples of the non-physical world – the non-tangible facets in our lives.
Humanity separates the path of our species from the rest of the animal kingdom. It has the essence of instinct, but lack of uniformity the in population as a whole.
Nevertheless, it has the clout in the determination of the future of an individual and much, much more – the entire human species.
All lives began with the starter kit Framework that has all these components – similarly to a seed that is packed with all the necessary nutrients sprouted when exposed to the sun, water and soil – essentially, the starter kit is a perpetual gift from one generation to the next.
Instinctively, all animals exclude the human species, packed the starter kit with perfection – not too much, not too little, just right.
This is the reason why most human adults started out with the unstable Framework and by Puberty, many of them will destabilize the structure even further. The wobbling Framework manifests itself overtime in the form of –
- Financial hardship
- Relationship failure
- Health deterioration
- Hatred of the external world
As a result, most lives are spent re-actively fixed these potholes over and over again throughout their entire existence.
All these problems are avoidable by incorporating the Framework into the day-to-day lives – the earlier the application the greater in efficacy, similarly to driving – the act is for the most part done unconsciously due to the fact that it has been in practice for good amount of time.
The quality of any life is the reflection in the quality of the individual Framework.
Let’s play the Game of Life!
