Business of Nature
Nature, that we see all around us, that sustains us, that maintains this planet is a shrewd business-thing.

It produces so much out of so little, and it gives the best in quality and quantity to all the consumers. As the nature in business goes, create a want where there is none. That's what Nature had been doing so far... until the present times.

In the present times, human business management proceses and the speed at which it has outrun it's course has threatened Nature's business machine.

Continuing in my series on Emotional management, Nature had maintained the best emotionally managed network. Simply put, in all the ecological pyramids, the simple business was to maintain a healthy balance of all resources so that the ecological sensitivities were taken well care of.

In business, we talk about profit and loss.

For Nature, profits are made when whatever it produced was consumed one way or another, and the resulting process helped propagate the produce. For. e.g. if a wild berry tree had berries in it's seasonal cycle, and the berries were eaten by animals and birds and propagated across locations to newer grounds, where the seeds took root,that would be a profitable business propagation.
On the other hand, if for some reason, maybe an odd big animal came around and felled the tree, or the berries were infected by parasites, the propagation of the seeds would be affected and thus the business would be in loss.

Either way, Nature continued it's production till an odd day when the life of the producer would come to it's natural end.

Learning from this basic business model, where balance of all resources was always the key for a model to flourish, success and failure were really not the buzzwords for Nature. For it, it was the propagation of business by very harmonic means.

This very basic balanced harmony is the essence of Emotional management. Understanding the import of all the parties involved and striking harmony to propagate Nature.

Though the human business model has learnt a lot from it, it has also decided to ignore the key aspects, which has led to a rapid decline in the quality of life for human beings across the globe, esp. in the not so 'economically' developed countries where the very balanced Nature is dessiminated incessantly for survival.

From the business model of Nature we need to start re-learning some key aspects to promote a more wholesome life on this planet - sooner than later.
