Two world views, but which is yours?
Those who go with a scarcity worldview believe there’s not enough to go around: only some are special, you have to look after number one. They’ve probably swallowed this error from somewhere and someone else (give people permission to give up their scarcity worldview and see what happens). In a world of scarcity you need lots of people who aren’t special, (our systems appear to reinforce this error, including education systems which are set up to identify and stream the best of what schools and colleges include).
But what if Humans are set up for abundance, for abundant creativity – not only the ones who measure up in our schools and present-day businesses?

What did you think about – what did you imagine?
You have just imagined something which doesn’t exist yet. This is an astonishing ability we exercise hundreds and thousands of times a day. Your ability to imagine is evidence that you have what is necessary for creativity. I don’t mean the way someone else is, but the way you are.
Yesterday, I was meeting with a couple of people imagining the content of an event we’re working on together. Amazed by the things they were picturing and combining, I came away wondering, What if everyone gets to be as excitedly imaginative as these two, awakened to the life only they can live?
This is what I am intent on imagining and pursuing; what do you imagine?
