imagine a day..
where you could do whatever you want.
then imagine..
waking up the next day..
to do whatever you want.
imagine iterating on that..
for a week, a month, a year.
*eventually.. you **might find the thing(s)
you can’t not do.
**might – taken in the context of our current abilities to ground the chaos of 7 billion people doing
whatever they want, this might ness has perhaps a synchronous/serendipitous quality
we’ve not yet experienced
*eventually – taken in the context of our current abilities to hasten the time between the intentions
and actions of 7 billion people, this eventually ness has perhaps an exponential dimensionality
we’ve not yet seen
you might find something that keeps you up at
night, and bounces you out of bed every
morning.
you might find eudaimonia..
imagine a world where everyone has this luxury..
time and space to figure out
what matters most.
everyday.
we might end up with 7 billion people doing exactly
what needs to be done
to make the world a better place.
we might end up with 7 billion people doing
what matters most
everyday.
rather than what we’ve been doing
everyday.
perhaps all our problems can be solved
onlywhen all of us are free.
perhaps the solutions/answers/life we’re really seeking are
alreadywithin each one of us.
perhaps we just need to let each one of us
be.
have had their day.
let’s try something else.
perhaps what we need most is
what we’ve been missing most..
the ongoingly boundless energy of 7 billion people, alive.
aka: eudaimoniative surplus
there are so many cool things that cool people are doing.
there are so many questionable things that questionable people are doing.
who’s to say which is which.
how could we ever.
as long as these people are alive people.
so perhaps.. rather than trying to permit/awaken/thrive
an idea/project/initiative/cause….
we permit/awaken/thrive 7 billion artists
first.
and trust that.
*trust us.
*trust – taken in the context of our current li-abilities that keep keeping 7 billion people
from being themselves, this trust ness holds perhaps an unimaginable freedom
we’ve not yet realized
perhaps the challenge we face hinges on the sync
ing of all of us.
perhaps stuff hasn’t yet worked (toward betterness)
because systemic change begs all-inclusiveness.
.. there are 7 billion + experts-in-waiting out there..
and we are missing them/us.
.. there are 7 billion + experts-in-waiting out there..
and we are missing them/us.
.. there are 7 billion + e
and we are missing the
we have entrapped ourselves within the chains of
of how we are supposed to be.
there are so many
good things we can do
in the world today.
but first..
we need a re set.
because what we need
most
is all of us.
