Just this morning I was thinking about how important it is that people who want to participate in the positive development of our planet start earning a lot of money.
There are many reasons for this. For instance when you have a thriving private economy, you can support small business owners rather than shop cheaply at discount stores. You can visit the chiropractor or masseuse more often and invest in that coach, personal trainer or singing lessons you always dreamed about. Perhaps you want to get your personal designs realized by a skillful seamstress using organic fabrics? That way you would be part of producing a healthy income for those professionals, at the same time as the production based on sustainability gets your support.
And just as you want people to come to your recitals, buy your photographs, paintings, poems, jewelry or whatever artistic endeavour you are trained in and have invested time, money, love, education and energy into, you would be able to get the inspiration of other artists, and thus promote their survival. You can then actually buy, not just look at, the pictures you like at the gallery so the artist can pay their rent with... Money! Of course you can also donate money to non profit organizations that care for stray cats, rain forests, peace, children, the local park etc, etc, etc, etc.
It is not dangerous to be rich, but many believe so, as we have all been taught that money in itself is in some way dangerous. Most people carry with them notions that money is the root of all evil, rich are greedy and have probably walked over dead bodies to get that money. The wealthy are stingy and mean, think only of themselves and buy leashes for their dogs covered diamonds, for ridiculous amounts of money, instead of doing something good for peace and feeding the poor. We are taught that since childhood, but I think all of it is pure nonsense!
Being without money does not turn you into a good person, quite the contrary in many ways! Being without money makes you a person for whom it is very hard to contribute to the positive things around you. It becomes hard to produce art with which to energize, provoke, encourage, inspire, challenge and reward people. And it oftentimes becomes almost impossible to do all those good deeds that you think others should do...
So ask your self right now: Do you consider your self a genuinely good hearted person? Then it can not be said enough times - GO GET RICH NOW! It is a responsibility we all have as humans and as artists.
