What makes something innovative? What makes something unparalleled? What makes some legacy worthy? Have you ever dared wonder? Have you dared to ask yourself?

In the Age of Modernity morphing into some type of apocalyptic artificial era, we sit on the brink of questions on the outer rims of human consciousness. Going to the space. What does that mean? Why is that an amazing feat? To go to space. To do something extreme that very few do. Is that a rarity? Are there other rare moments, personal feats, and cosmic experiences you could have differently?


When we look to the past, what have we gleaned as a collective? What is experienced on a personal level? If we look to the past to create and build the future, can we integrate past wisdom into present and future tapestries and landscapes?


To do that, what is the creation rooted in? Core values, a unified sense of like-mindedness, and a desire to collaborate and cooperate are integral to building something that lasts the test of time. The things that stay with people are passed on to different generations or lifetimes. That is also legacy. That’s how traditions are formed.


What has been passed down? How can it be best utilized and modified for current conditions?


Whether you’re a coach, entrepreneur, guru, guide, expert, and so on, you need one thing – innovation. Innovation is the gas that fuels you. The inner passion and desire for excellence are the cornerstones of building a culture, community, and longevity. Your unique innovative capabilities are what fuel the fire of creativity and the drive to keep going.


On the flip side, rest, rejuvenation, and self-care are also required for performance and sustainability. Finding your rhythm in the dance of life is like hitting the jackpot.


You have dreams for a reason. You have brilliant, creative ideas full of life and potential because they are given to you by divine inspiration. Each idea or vision or dream is a gift from the universe for you to bring to fruition so that you can experience it or seed it for others.


Sometimes you don’t always eat from every tree you plant. You do it for the greater good.


Connecting to your past, the earthly past, and the cosmic past, may seem like a daunting task, but there’s treasure buried in the annals of history that are waiting to be uncovered and rediscovered. Why reinvent the wheel?


In today’s collective unconscious, technology means phones, computers, and screens. In the past, it also included simple and manual machinery. When we think of technology as a culture or society, what are other avenues of innovation in tech that aren’t solely screen or artificially related? Are we all moving towards an artificial future based on stats and analytics?


Where is the human touch in technology? Where is the heart in consciousness?


How can we seed that on Earth so that it can blossom and bloom into a better future for all types of life forms?


If you could birth something awesome into the world, what would it be?
