2018: You as Interior Innovator, and Originator
This year, turn your new year's resolutions into objects of originality by giving yourself permission to engage and collaborate with others. Your first task is of course to innovate, to figure out what steps you can take to design a strategy, collaboration with others to gain the best optimal results for yourself while doing something great for the world. I suggest becoming the interior innovator, creating and having a space within your thinking, a mental state that shuts out the jumble of "what-ifs" and worries, a space that lets you be where ideas and goals come and go without judgement; within that space so an idea, goal or cause will formulate that is unique to you.
Milestone - celebrated like never before
When you can pair your unique personal goal with a great cause you'll find more encouragement from friends and family attracted to help and keep you motivated.
With Site of Contact suggestions, for ways of participation in events, classwork, and mentoring programs, you can raise the skills needed to address difficult challenges. You can find ways that can play a role in the response to crises that may have been happening for years. The fact is that certain communities have been dealing with issues for generations the same way, to collaborate with others, a new perspective that goes beyond historic trends and social-economic status can now arise in a larger context. It is unfortunate that the rule of identity of a community, group, or person is determined by their situation or suffering, and thus too often that determines society's response to that situation or suffering. To step outside that box in your approach can make you the innovator or originator of change. Hitting your personal best when you pair your innovate ideas with others in practical ways of change, creating milestones of celebration that feel like none ever before.
Life evolving
To begin, 'Traditional and Uncommon Obserances" section, has some fun, thought provoking and interesting themes going on within your community, or the world, that allows for a bit of original and innovative opportunities for engagement. You may want to see who is doing what and how, so check out some of the traditional, wacky and uncommon stuff that is out there, so you can get involved or use as a starting point for your innovative change.
Being engaged is a way of doing life, a way of living and loving. It's about ... expressing the bright hope that life offers us, a hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That's what I want my life to be all about - full of abandon, whimsy, and in love. -Bob Goff
