A spider focuses on her needs....



The story of the wasp and the spider is an integral part of the cycle of success [see photo].


The wasp is caught by a spider because she prepared a web to serve her needs. Her secret of success is that she has no "collective wants". Instead has clearly defined "spider needs".


The spider's world is based on needs not wants and so there is a natural order. There are success cycles that can be described and even accurately predicted. The human world has success cycles that can be described and sometimes accurately predicted.


In 2019 human lives are undergoing a huge transformation for one simple reason. Humans are placing their "collective wants" above and beyond their "individual needs".

Humans have imported the "collective wants" of others and stamped them as their own. They have become social justice warriors, climate advocates, gender protagonists, collaborators, individuals who "go along to get along". The spider has no need to import other spiders' needs - she focuses on her own needs. She prepares her web to ensure her needs are met. When the web is blown away or frozen solid - she prepares a new one. Because the spider [see photo] has no "collective wants" she is a natural minimalists.


If you have become trapped in a web of "collective wants" you are the wasp not the spider.
