Natural resources are in abundance.
Options are available that are to be explored by us. Options are many, but we insist on moving only along known paths most of the time. Someone is engaged in mechanic work; the family continues for generations. This causes a lot of stress, just like moving on the narrow paths of a street, in spite of the possibility of creating wide new paths. 
No other creature on this earth has such wide options as those available to humans, regardless of our concerns and interests. 
The fundamental weakness is not believing the simple reality that natural resources are available in abundance to meet the requirements of all people on this planet—today and tomorrow.
We know what is visible to the eye, but not what is invisible in these vast stretches of this universe. We know that past generations and generations before them were crazy, and they discovered a variety of things that have added numerous comforts to us. It is now our responsibility to add more and let the people believe that nature is always ready to provide us with more than our expectations, wherever we are. 
When we compete with others for the limited things before us, we do more damage than get anything substantial. Instead of catching fish from visible water reservoirs, we may create more such reservoirs or even better ones.
Thus, competition restricts us from using our skill of creativity in any domain of activities for survival and growth. New things never come into our hands until efforts are made to get them. We struggle for something only when we trace the rays of possibility. So, imagination works wonders. In the absence of imagination, we can’t grow.
At any stage, we have options to move miles beyond what we knew and, if necessary, dive into unknown territories to explore hidden treasures.
