The loudest voices are driving the conversation, and usually the loudest voices come from the most fearful places.
Calling on all of you, all the creatives, the intuitives, the thinkers. It’s you turn. It’s your time. We need you to carry us through this crisis of chaos, crisis of uncertainty. The uncertainty, feels like nihilism. The unknown – an overwhelming anxiety. Can’t see beyond today, because of the shadow cast by tomorrow. But you will bring us through. The burden of resolution, the responsibility of conviction. When humility is seen as a weakness, but is actually true inner-strength. When curiosity is seen as lack of conviction, but is actually the only way forward. When openness is considered a liability but will be what truly connects us.
I’m calling on you to create a space. A space for yourself, to be your self, your best self. Connected to who you are. Connected to everything you do – to bring your whole self to what you do. Let your intuition thrive. Please don’t underestimate your intuition, even though not everyone sees it, not everyone appreciates it. It’s little known, undervalued, invisible, soft spoken. Uncomfortable at times. Please get comfortable in the uncomfortable. Show us how. Show us it’s okay. Show us there is power in the unseen. Intuition the spontaneous creative collision of instinct, insight, intelligence. We need you to do that for us.
Then, once you’ve created that space for yourself, create a space like that for others. In the judgment-free silence of open space. A space for humility, a space for exploration, a space for discovery.
Creativity. Insight. Instinct. Art. Writing. Movement. Momentum. Inspiration. Value. Hope. Faith. Empathy. Openness. Understanding. Listening. Curiosity are your super powers. But not exclusive super powers. Please show us, teach us how to use ours. Not exclusively yours, it’s not exclusively anyones, but a shared experience, shared existence, shared ideal, shared perfection.
That idea, that thought, that curiosity, that inspiration. Just a seed. You’ve been given a responsibility to bring it into the world. It won’t be easy. Won’t be perfect. Nobody will understand it at first but it was given to you. The power of creativity. Bringing into reality what was just a thought, will require many iterations, reinventing, setbacks, perseverance – and maybe through the process achieving one thing…
Fearlessness. The absolute absence of fear. Not courage. Not confidence. But absolute zero fear.
