EnlightenNext - Magazine for Evolutionaries

"EnlightenNext - The Magazine for Evolutionaries" is sharing a digital version of its December 2008-February 2009 edition. Definitely worth a read for inspiration and to provoke some new thinking on evolutionary processes.



Their own description of the magazine: "Through in-depth interviews and insightful cultural analysis, EnlightenNext offers new ways of thinking about ourselves, our world, and the future we are here to create."

After you read it, ask yourself "What did it awaken in me?"

We want to build on the values that have meaning for us: creativity, adventure, wisdom, joy, passion.

Though I will continue to dedicate much of my time to Kids 2020 Foundation, I need to discover the kind of work that gratifies the soul of my creativity. Without that, how I can expect myself to inspire others?


What are you doing that really awakens your creativity and brings you to life? Take a deep breath...and...
