So if we're on board with stability and the long game and fulfilling our needs, then it's not as difficult to take healing and humility seriously as opposed to money and power, which would then lead to that faux respect: wants at the expense of needs and the short game at the expense of the long game.
Ever found yourself chasing money and power, only to feel more lost and disrespected? Ali Elashram, the host of the 'Primordial Provisions Podcast', dives into this very issue in the episode titled 'Respect: a Trivial Pursuit'. Elashram breaks down the common misconception that respect is something you can buy with wealth or force with power. Instead, he argues that these pursuits often lead to fleeting satisfaction and long-term instability.
According to Elashram, respect should be the ultimate goal, but it’s often sought in ways that are counterproductive. The real keys to earning respect, he suggests, lie in stability, healing, and humility. By focusing on these elements, you can break free from the endless cycle of chasing superficial gains and find true fulfillment. Ali starts by questioning why respect is typically seen as a byproduct of money and power.
He believes that many people are misguided, thinking that accumulating wealth and influence will naturally bring them respect. However, he flips this idea on its head, suggesting that what we’re really seeking is respect itself. This misguided pursuit often starts from a place of feeling disrespected, leading individuals to believe they need money and power to command respect. But this approach only perpetuates a cycle of oppression and trauma. Instead, Elashram advocates for a focus on healing and gaining humility.
He emphasizes that stability should be our primary goal. When we achieve stability through inner work and humility, we create a foundation for genuine respect. This long-term approach not only fills the emotional voids we might feel but also helps break the unending cycle of seeking validation through external means. In this episode, Elashram offers a refreshing take on how to live well and uncover your true self.
If you’re tired of the rat race and looking for a more fulfilling way to earn respect, this episode is a must-listen.
