We, along with every other species of plant or animal--and the universe itself, seem to be bound together in a singular mission: to evolve and expand. Barring the obvious, “We’re here. We like it. Let’s stick around!” even astrophysicists can only speculate as to why this seems to be the primal and primary purpose of all life forms.
Both historically and currently, we see evidence of this inherent drive at the individual and collective levels (persons, families, communities, corporations, governments, nations, religions). Some do it well and thrive. Some do not. Most lie somewhere in between.
Oddly, other than DNA, we don’t come with instructions. So, except for natural disasters (poor dinosaurs, Pompeians, etc.), it appears the “how” is up to us. (Maybe those ARE the instructions!) That is, each of us gets to decide how we’re going to help bring this mission to fruition.
THAT’S INCREDIBLE!
Here's a single question that can not only enable us to contribute to this grandest scheme of things. It can also help us connect with each other and the rest of the universe while doing so.
The question? How can I personally evolve and expand in this situation, this opportunity, this crisis, this mistake, this relationship, this challenge, this failure, this success, this job, this endeavor, this niche, this debacle, this triumph, this disaster, this etc.?
Or if you prefer the short version . . . in this moment?
TODAY.
LET’S GIVE THE UNIVERSE AND OURSELVES A GIFT.
LET’S THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN EVOLVE AND EXPAND.
