The systems we support, the people we dance with, the ruckus we create – it’s not for today, it’s for tomorrow. We’re here now, but we live in the future. We are making history. If you could have tomorrow over again, would you do it differently*
Seth Godin
Thin|Silence hit number 4500 yesterday–
Whispers from the future
of what is possible,
For you to mix into your daily reflecting,
To create your own potency
at the beginning of the day,
To remember and imagine anew
how astonishingly inventive and creative you are,
And how powerful this is for helping another.
I love Seth Godin’s closing question–
This is what our imagining is all about,
Changing tomorrow;
We cannot control
the future-shaping events,
And a lot of who we will be
is determined by our past,
But that leaves a lot of personal choice–
My guesstimate is around forty per cent.**
This is the area of my work–
I simply want to share what I’m discovering
to help anyone that I can,
So if I can help you in some way
to do-over your tomorrow,
Drop me a line–^
A gift – no charge,
And I also end up with loads of doodles,
So, if you’d like some, let me know.^^
*Seth Godin’s This Is Strategy;
**I can’t remember the source, but I remember reading that our baseline happiness measures around fifty per cent of our contentment, events (winning the lottery, being head-hunted for our dream-job, etc.) only make up ten, which leaves forty per cent to our personal choices;
