This week, let's dive deeper. š
1. Un-Learn
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." ~ Alvin Toffler
Whatever got you here, no longer works.
Jettison your self perception, mindset, and vibe.
Make space for the new.
2. Rewire
Becoming a full-spectrum thinker is vital.
Learn "to seek patterns and clarity outside, beyond, or without boxes or categories." (Bob Johansen)
Categories obscure reality and limit growth and progress.
Eliminate the old labels and uncover new possibilities.
3. Immerse
"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." ~ Kierkegaard
- Follow your curiosity to find your new direction.
- Go with what sparks your interest.
- Absorb the culture.
- Experiment.
- Don't be afraid of mistakes.
Surrender to the new.
4. Re-Emerge
"Great ideas come, not when you're looking, but when you're dreaming."
It's all new, here. The possibilities are endless. But don't rush your process.
Learn. Learn. Learn. From the best.
Then chill.
Your new idea, project, or partner(s) will reveal itself.
5. Be Cosmic
"As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind." ~ The Upanishads
Everyone is cosmic. We are born that way. But we're trained out of it in childhood.
Here in the future, to sustain ourselves that connection is mandatory.
Regain your cosmic awareness.
TLDR: 1. Un-learn the Old 2. Rewire to Full-Spectrum 3. Immerse Fully 4. Re-Emerge 5. Be Cosmic
