An idea worth spreading

The best thing idea I can share, is the value of getting H.I.G.H.

By now, you probably think I'm a lunatic, or you are wondering "what the heck does that mean?"

Let me explain, because getting H.I.G.H. is important to me. It's something that has driven me to achieve my current successes, and continues to drive me to achieve more, and I have a feeling, it will drive me right up top to my greatest goal - help you succeed to.

In order to do that though, Iets break things down.

Getting H.I.G.H. is Getting Highly Inspired to Get Hardcore.

Now that you know what it means to "Get H.I.G.H.", I'm sure you've relaxed, and you are probably already thinking of several reasons you'd like to get H.I.G.H. Don't deny it. Everybody loves getting H.I.G.H., and for good reason. Getting H.I.G.H. opens up possibilities and opportunities you might never have found any other way. When you're motivated, anything can happen.

So let me ask you now.. whats your reason for getting H.I.G.H?

  Jan 20 2012: Yes, that's something I wish I had some idea on. I mean, I have no idea what it costs to create supercooled atoms, lol. Are there any quantum physicists here on TED?

  Jan 15 2012: As far as the economic viability.... that's the sticky part...
  
  What would it take for us to put together an estimate of how many magnets it would take to say.... cover a 5 mile road? And do you know what sort of tech you would need to get the WiTricity to the vehicles? There has to be some way for a vehicle to convert radio waves into fuel....Were you thinking about some sort of wireless charging unit attached to an alternator? Or to the battery itself?

  Jan 15 2012: Yes! Those videos weren't the same one i saw, but it's the same exact technology and principals of Quantum Levitation. Do you think that could somehow be used in conjunction with or combined with your idea for WiTricity?

  A reply on Conversation: Why do we chase happiness?

  Jan 15 2012: There are two types of people "Those that believe they are the only sentient beings with free will, emotions and consciousness." and "Those that believe all things are beings of consciousness, emotion and free will."
  
  Personally, I believe that people don't maintain happiness, because they don't fully understand it. Contentment and fulfillment are what cultivate happiness, not things or actions or careers all by themselves. Celebrities aren't happy, not because they got what they wanted, but because one of our basic needs that we have to meet in order to be "happy", is Variety/Uncertainty. We aren't happy if things are the same all the time. Most people don't understand this, though I know you do, and that's what stops most people from being "happy".
  
  If everyone understood that we have a true need for Variety and Uncertainty, they wouldn't wallow in unhappiness so much. They would realize that they can bring back that happiness, simply by finding fulfilling ways to sate their need for Variety. as well as their other needs.
  
  In essence, what happens with all people who are successful is that they achieve success and do it again and again and again, then get bored with it, and start to create failures just for the change of scenery, emotion and experience. This all usually happens on a subconscious level though, making it appear out of the persons control. Though once you come into conscious control and awareness of your needs, you have the ultimate control over how to fulfill them anytime you need, and to be happy when ever you wish.

  Jan 15 2012: I agree with Colleen, both of your insights are profound and wonderful!
  
  It is definitely within our power to create anything we want, including happiness. What I was trying to explain above, through the "human needs psych", is that once you realize that you have the power to achieve fulfillment, you realize you don't "need" happiness, but that you can have it anytime you wish. It's freeing not to have to chase those butterflies around if you don't want to, isn't it? lol
