Hello Subscriber First Name,
I want to start today with the question I left you with last time: “What’s the smallest shift I can make today that aligns with my deeper purpose?”
I hope you found it a useful prompt, one that provided space for reflection on the ripples we send into the world.
This thought often stays with me, and I truly believe that the biggest shift we can make is to pause and reconnect with ourselves. From that foundation, we can build deep connections with our communities and the planet.
It’s an idea beautifully captured in this Rumi quote:
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
‘Changing myself’ can feel big, maybe even overwhelming. But what if, instead of seeing it as bold transformation, we viewed it as remembering - reconnecting with the dreams we once had for our lives?
And to do that we need to learn and feel, so I’ve been reading the wonderful ‘Learning How to Learn - Psychology and Spirituality in the Sufi Way’ by Idries Shah. It’s a soulful exploration drawing on ancient wisdom (including Rumi) and more recent scholars.
So I’m building hope that we Dare to Dream of an exciting future built on love and compassion. (If you missed last week’s TrimTabs, I introduced my 4D thinking model read it here.)
Having now explored Daring and Dreaming, that leaves us with Doing and Designing this week…
