We are surrounded by the success of our predecessors. When it comes to survival, we’re standing on the shoulders of hard-earned wisdom. But it’s not ours, we inherited it.

It’s unearned wisdom – which has uncovered a harsh truth: we’re lost when we’re not literally fighting for our lives. Survival instincts provide us with a clear trajectory but when we’re not in life-or-death situations, we’re left without direction, struggling to find our way.

As a result, we operate on a belief that there is a competition of resources and pursue ‘me and more’. These efforts are hollow and have us asking, ‘How can I do better faster? How do I get more out of it? How can I be done?

What happens when we shift from survival instincts to a living moment?

Our purpose shifts from survival to contribution and has us asking, ‘What is the right thing to do in this situation? What does contribution look like? What am I called to do?’

The answer I get is some version of ‘go share YOUR earned wisdom for fun and for free, with no strings attached.’
