Heroes Not Zombies

I’m always fascinated by seeds, fruits and nuts.

Look at this corn I saw in a field the other day. It is literally bursting with potential!

What does the future hold for these little kernels? Are they going to be eaten? If so, by whom, or by what? Are they going to be “processed” for their oil? Will they be planted out or find their own way to soil and grow into corn plants themselves? If they are planted out, will they make it to fully mature plants?

So much uncertainty!

Too much uncertainty is hard to bear, but the reality of all living creatures is that the future EMERGES out of the present. We can’t predict it, so what do we do?

1. Focus on living today
2. Get in touch with the immense potential which lies within each of us
3. Imagine. Practice our creativity….let it run free
4. Live consciously….mindfully….with awareness
5. Slow down, and savour each moment as we live it
6. Be amazed by the wonder of today
7. Practice flexibility and resilience (to be better able to respond to the unpredictable future when it becomes the surprising present)
8. Fully own and share our uniqueness
9. ……………………………………………………..(add your ideas here)
