Most of the teachings out there on how to achieve something primarily tell you what directly gets the results you want. Nothing wrong with that in itself. However, a major problem is that a ton of results are completely lost in most situations of life due to faulty execution by individuals or groups of people. I’m speaking macro & globally here for almost all areas of life. What humanity really needs at this point, more than more of the direct implementation teachings I just spoke of, are sophisticated & powerful strategies, tools, & resources for following through with diligent execution & accurate implementation. For the purpose of this posting, this is the second level of human achievement. So much achievement has been lost due to a weak establishment of this second level. I can’t stress how BIG this is for fundamental human achievement. And of course, I’m assuming that the answers to the problems of this second level of human achievement do exist and we have the ingenuity to discover & develop them.

Let me demonstrate what I mean by this second level of human achievement with some examples…

Honestly, these are weak examples of sophisticated & powerful second level solutions. And it is all that I was able to come up with in the moment. I’ve been intensely studying human achievement for several years now and have some world class perspective on the whole deal across many areas of life. So it goes to show that the current state of establishment with the second level isn’t too well developed as I’ve stated. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of topnotch second level solutions in existence for many areas of human achievement already. But the first level of human achievement is developed many times further than the second level. If we could improve the second level of human achievement to the point that the first level is at right now, then I think we would see a massive explosion in achievement & quality of life throughout the world, much more so than an equivalent increase in further first level development.

Just think if you could flat-out accurately execute on power strategies in all major areas of your life just as you are right now. Much of the stress, mediocrity, lack of results, lack of momentum, etc, would be handled and you would predictably & efficiently achieve what is right now a major struggle for you. When I look at my own life, I am super confident in my ability to achieve virtually everything I want out of life over the long-term. However, when circumstances are reduced to the short-term, I often lose my self-confidence & self-trust. I have collected tons of super powerful first level strategies for how to get what I want in the short-term & long-term, even considering the present level of external resources & talent. However, my capacity to execute upon much of these first level strategies is very limited because of my internal psychology & consistent state of mind. To some, that might sound vague and like a lame excuse. However, it has been a major reality of virtually every human being throughout history in almost all areas of their life, including you, I’m sure. Virtually everybody knows of something that they believe they can & should do to achieve more in life, however don’t due to some internal issue of psychology/mindset. The second level of human achievement is all about addressing this issue and enabling people to execute for greater predictable achievement. I would even venture to say that, with a bit of deep reflection, most people have the individual means to figure out a first level strategy to achieve what they want with good odds. If this previous statement is correct, then it is clearly the second level of human achievement that is fundamentally lacking at this point.

These previous examples were based on baseline standards of today that many individual people have for themselves. However, the specific point still rings true for many intelligent individuals & groups pursuing world class feats of human achievement. Knowing what to do that directly gets one the results they are looking for isn’t near as big of an issue as getting one’s self to diligently execute & accurately implement on that strategy.

My concept of the second level of human achievement does have a clearly understood macro definition, but it can get fuzzy in the minute details. For now, I will let that be, since the bigger point is presently meaningful enough for the world at large.

Now, is building solutions for the second level of human achievement into the external world, the full answer? No. At least if you don’t want to wait around your whole life for it to happen. Who knows when this stage of second level development will be fulfilled in the world and who even knows if it will resolve your custom challenge/goal. Also, if you are looking to push the limits of human achievement and looking to seriously do something like massively change the world for the good of humanity, as I am, then relying on the standards of others & society’s solutions isn’t typically a good enough strategy. All that said, I think from the perspective of World Development, we need to really invest in developing & distributing second level solutions for human achievement.

If this second level is such a big issue throughout humanity & society, then why haven’t we already handled it by now? Some of the factors have been things like self-serving interests and low consciousness throughout society. Other factors have been things like a limited or false understanding of psychology and little physical & technological infrastructure throughout society. Only in the last 100 or so years have we really had a decent real world chance to build out powerful second level solutions for a majority of society. But despite having this potential for all these decades, we still haven’t really capitalized on this human potential yet in modern society. In a lot of respects, we have actually gone backwards. For example, I think, overall, people in present modern society might be less diligent than at points in the past. Which brings us to one of the biggest reasons & challenges of why we haven’t yet really conquered this issue…

Ultimately, it is an issue of individual psychology and psychology is a tough, complex, dynamic, multi-variable issue. Every individual is ultimately free to do & think what they want. Taking it further, so is every individual mind free to do & think what it wants. A lot of times, even our own conscious personal drive to do something easy that we want is overpowered by another conscious or subconscious drive within us to do something else. There is so much limiting bullshit between virtually every single person’s ears, that the challenge is huge when looking from a society or humanity level. Fears, limiting beliefs, bad habits, etc, cripple almost everyone from going all out in life and living a large amount of their human potential. Hell, as we’ve established, most of us have consistent problems accomplishing very basic things that we already know how to do, such as eating right, making a certain phone call, finishing up a certain project, treating certain people properly, etc.

So how do we go about attacking these tough issues and really accomplish an amazing second level establishment in modern society? Well, fundamentally, I believe people only do things out of motivation. More effective solutions of motivation have to be designed, built, and distributed. Motivation is made up of two core forces, which are the feelings of pain & pleasure. People are constantly doing everything in life to either avoid pain and/or gain pleasure. However, we all perceive life differently so it is the meaning we associate with specific things as well as what our present experience is made up of that will determine what we do via this motivation. That is the overarching, macro conceptual model for how people function. So, what does the actual solution look like? The actual solutions could be anything, really. One very effective second level solution has always been law & the legal system of society (although often not utilized for the highest aims of human potential & world development). We can give whatever meaning we desire to whatever we want and that will determine what we do when experiencing its presence or absence. I think we should be pursuing all types of intelligent solutions in order to achieve this further establishment of the second level of human achievement. Things like further traditional psychology study, government reform, educational system & curriculum reform, put personal development & leadership courses in schools, compassionate capitalism, raising consciousness & positivity, nanotechnology & medicine, etc. Whatever positive solution can unlock the major keys for this challenge is fine by me. However, I see the highest leveraged pursuits being in solutions from focused psychological & sociological study, focused raising of consciousness & standards, and focused establishment of people-based custom support systems. “Focused” meaning with the aim of addressing the second level of human achievement.

Now, again, don’t get me wrong, I think that a ton of high quality second level solutions already exist that can enable almost any motivated person in modern society to predictably live the life of their dreams, or enable many motivated groups to achieve the objective of their dreams. Things like psychological tactics, human development information, supportive peers & professionals, your own self-talk, etc, can potentially take your execution to the next level. So don’t wait! I’m certainly not. Everything you want can be obtained. Life is an open system. Just get yourself, your friend, or your group beyond the bullshit between the ears (fears, limiting patterns, etc) and start accurately executing on a powerful strategy until the objective is obtained. Said though my Results Equation, Results = Strategy + Action, so just get yourself to take action 1:1 on a strategy designed to predictably get you the results you want in this world, and then you will likely obtain it.

The second level of human achievement deals with causing diligent execution & accurate implementation in individuals & groups, where the first level of human achievement simply deals with directly acquiring the desired end result, from a cause-effect perspective. Much failure in the world primarily occurs due to a deprivation of the second level, compared to the first. The second level of human achievement is notably underdeveloped compared to the present state of the first level. This seriously needs to be addressed by humanity at large as well as with specific individuals & groups…including myself in my own life.
