Expanding Self

This image of self development had my mind smile as the rippling lines show an individual growing outwards from the original body as development occurs. Perhaps the ripples could come from the whole body. It’s from the Never Ending Quest book (p181) by Clare W Graves, Cowan & Todorovic. I’ve been reading from page 195 to better understand and apply spiral dynamics. Thanks to Ross & Steve Mc for the inspiration.

Recent Internet Fascination

NASA on Instagram: “Four large islands are hard to miss in satellite imagery of the
Severnaya Zemlya archipelago in the Russian high Arctic. Spanning 37,000…”

“[Bitcoin]’s already storing $125bn of wealth – for tens of millions of people.
It’s the only financial system I’m aware of which has had 24×7 uptime for nine years.”

There are now many great blockchain podcast shows to listen to.
Here’s a favourite this week. Thanks Ross.

Enliven your way of being and vision with Peta Kelly’s new book “The Earth is Hiring“. I mentioned Peta previously – she provides clarity around the future of business, leadership, getting things done and finances.

These new Ólafur tunes are so distracting! Here’s a sweet playlist.

What’s happening there that’s fascinating you?

Waving,

Optical Innovation

Wonderful to be inspired by the clever modular design and functionality of the frames from Dresden Optics in Melbourne and then to experience their exceptional customer service. The frames are inexpensive and apparently no scratching or smeariness from handling. Thanks for the heads up KP 🤓

Quick designing

Doing a quick design? Here are all the icons. Thanks Tim B!

Amazing statistics:

Lovely to be in the world of conducting, music, high stakes, performance and talent via series “Mozart in the Jungle”:

Much of this was enjoyably composed on the easy, WordPress iPhone app, some on the chairlift. Thanks Fred for the inspiration to restart using this app.

What have you enjoyed lately?

Have a great day,

Ways to feel happy about your future.

Elon Musk says his massive visions are all about not wanting to feel sad about the future. He suggests people need things in our future to feel excited about (such as the real possibility of a civilisation on Mars). Such simple perspective that’s leading to significant global progress, innovation and inspiration.

“Fundamentally, the future is vastly more exciting and interesting if we are a spacefaring civilisation and a multi-planet species”

“You want to be inspired by things, to wake up in the morning and think that the future is going to be great. And that’s what being a spacefaring civilisation is all about.”

His insights have inspired me across topics from entrepreneurialism to intentional visions to being playful while aiming high – perhaps they will for you too via this easy YouTube playlist. Press play and watch each one.

One of the fascinating things is that Tesla’s mission is about influencing the industry (not just selling cars) and if they fail, they’ll have influenced other car manufacturers to progress their sustainable energy cars.

He recently promoted GM making electric cars:

Elon’s Top 5 Areas for Humanity.

The five areas Elon sees as important to work on now for humanity:
  1. Doing Artificial Intelligence (AI) “in a good way”
  2. Reprogramming genetics – including higher bandwidth to the brain.  Whoah.
  3. Self driving cars
  4. Sustainable energy
  5. The Internet

One for the history books!

Since we reuse airplanes, we might as well reuse rockets! Go SpaceX!

Favourite reads & listens

  • “Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy” by Adam Grant and Sheryl Sandberg is a guide for being a great human, a great friend, to those going through the grief of losing a loved one and tips for people who are directly going through mourning. There were snippets in there about resilience and adversity that could apply to other aspects of life though it was predominantly about Sheryl’s story of her husband unexpectedly dying at 47 years old and how she coped and performed with the help of supportive colleagues at Facebook, friends and family and includes the wisdom that helped. An emotional rollercoaster and a book for life that I recommend. 6 hour listen on Audible.
  • Melburnians – Dior is here ’til 7 November. The scale of this exhibition at NGV is brilliant as is seeing the House through the years. Worth a couple of hours. If you’ve seen the Dior and I documentary you’ll enjoy the familiarity. I was mesmerised by this Autumn/Winter 2017 show on the big screen:

  • Simple, short watch to support you and the other high achievers you know.
  • Ski like a girl talk by Lynsey Dyer. Lynsey started She Jumps which teaches girls and kids to: Find your own magnificence and sense of belonging through: 1. Have a goal 2. Lighten up on yourself 3. Be your own best friend 4. Listen to your intuition 5. Accept all the parts of yourself.   
  • My new airpods are as excellent as people say they are. Effortlessly (so fast) changing and connecting  between computer, watch and phone, and comfortable. Ohhhh yeahhh….
  • Enhancing Human Intelligence (HI) via a chip in your brain. What’s possible? Bryan Johnson provides food for thought and insight.
  • “Work should light a fire in your soul!” Go Tina.

Great online presence

  • It was wonderful to be part of Type.Human‘s launch today. Get in touch with them if the idea has you curious.
  • Oh NASA, of course, you’re AMAZING!

Blockchain and Cryptocurrency News

Remember that list I mentioned? The one with 25+ links of Blockchain and cryptocurrency insights? It has a few additions for you ~

  • a new, prioritised YouTube playlist,
  • a new video on blockchains for supply chains,
  • a new talk by Andreas about Bitcoin’s future. I particularly liked his analogy to not mistaking smooth sailing as a sign of great sailors,
  • favourite podcasts and newsletters you can subscribe to and more.

Click on those of interest. The YT playlist has a few short ones that are easy to pickup.

Shoot me a reply so I can improve the next email. Thanks.
