Manifesto

Realize that movement is key, even if it’s just small nudges that keep the wheels turning.

Stay alert and always keep the next step in mind. If you follow this approach, your own rhythm will naturally resonate with that of the universe.

Accepting your essential nature and living accord­ingly + Being aware of your uniqueness (not your ego) + Making decisions consciously.

At times we forget our “inner urge,” the goals we are passionate about. Things then become automatic. Yet when consistently creating space for our passions we are spared the draining feel of monotony.

…otherwise we produce beyond ourselves. We need to (re)recognize our values and to live up to our ethic. This is key for long-term lasting decisions.
‍
The more you know your go’s and no-go’s the more coherent become your decisions (results). Processes get easier, more successful, and more satisfying.

Chasing opportunities or new projects has become part of every creative’s life. That exhausting hunt keeps us away from challenging the “what for?”

“What for?” tells us the about the worth of were we want to go. Being clear about that when making decisions makes us strong.

As we do anything possible to avoid being bored there are no moments without external input. Without room for dreaming our brain cannot shape any (revolutionary) creative idea.
‍
An initial naiveté also allows us an almost irrational perspective, free of fear or doubt. For this reason you might want naiveté to come into play regardless age, life or business settings.

It is only a short period of time between a vision and the final scenario. During this very period we often get lost in the flood of possibilities. Our intention is what guides us out of it.

Being aware of what you really desire inevitably creates the energy needed for enjoyable decisions.

If we support the other unconditionally our own success will come from possibly unexpected direction.

If you stay dedicated to the well-being of others you not only will touch on the core of your social being but also enjoy your own fulfillment in their success.

In our everyday lives we often overlook or do not remember our “key moments”. However, once we pay attention and recognize them, they turn into bits of happiness. In the long run they will point us to the right place. (There are new “key moments” in each phase of our lives waiting to happen.)

Looking at ourselves can be uncomfortable at times. Should we step back when things get ugly for us? No, if we have a deep (holistic) understanding of who we are.

Knowing our shadows and lights makes us robust and not manipulable by others.

Try to spot the right time for a rendezvous with the unknown and go for bold decisions. Learn to read feel the moment when everything comes together to become one.

Reflect on your past: When did I wait too long? When did I act too fast?

Either we hesitate or we make radical calls. None of these leads to a lasting outcome. We often trigger our next steps instead of listening to ourselves to find out what matters at this very time.

Looking at external factors alongside internal motivations is key to draw solid conclusions on when and how the next step should ba taken.

Our ego has the power to destroy things from a single project to an entire career. That same ego can make things take off, though. In other words, you might want your ego not to have this exclusive control.

Being creative means being able to tell when your ego might help you and when not (especially when interacting with people around us).

A NO might mean that you still have not figured out all conditions required to generate your desired YES.


Ask yourself honestly:
“What’s holding me back right now?”

Once we become so called followers, we get trapped in a feel of „I am enough“. We then slip into a state of unproductive satisfaction. Since we stop redefining ourselves we become vulnerable. The middle ground is the end of our creative forces.

Deconstructing things (revolution against yourself) allows you to reconstruct those on a next level.

Most of our decisions are based on what may be outdated ideas or long-ago moods. Without realizing it we keep acting with no connection to our actual reality.

To let go of the past we need a regular ritual of forgiveness (towards ourselves and others). It is not until then that we make choices free from the burden from the past (made from a perspective of acceptance).

We leave the place we come from (families and roots). We seek this detachment during first years of our creative lives to naturally redefine ourselves.

However, our origins archive unexpected sources of energy. If we want to make use of these we need to be aware of where we come from. Good memories, early passions and cultural propensities are good company on the paths of creativity.

When we focus on events (or things) we are grateful for, our brain activity and performance inevitably go up and we start “riding the wave.”

Partnering (and collaborating) used to aim at the own personal interest. In the world of creatives though, it has become crucial to openly share one’s knowledge in order to consciously contribute to the big picture.

Individual aspirations therefore take a back seat to collective aspirations.

Once we develop a collective consciousness and contribute across the entire value chain, we inevitably set the big wheels in motion.
Without the support of a well running team we are nothing.

Once you consider others an extension of possibilities you are granted access to a system that makes you grow.
