Water element - Five Element Mindset

Personal Development

The five elements of personal development.

By interacting with each other, the five elements create what we know as physical reality in all of its aspects.

Personal Development

Use doubt to change.

The problem with doubt arises when we either don't transform it, or transform it into a negative emotion.

Personal Development

The process of personal development.

To make the best of yourself, you have to go through a process where nothing is given in advance.

Innovation

Retro-innovation is key to the future.

Innovating for the future is much easier when taking a historical starting point.

Personal Development

Make yourself an NFT.

Connect a lot of little things in your mind uniquely, and share it as a specific event in time. That's innovation, but it's also NFT.

Art

Water is life.

Discover your true being, and explore what is taking place under the surface of life.

Innovation

The king is important, but...

Where the king is product focused, the queen is customer focused. She understands the reality of people's lives and the context they operate in.

Mindset

Don't prepare for survival. Prepare for creation.

Setting yourself up for creation through the right mindset, is much more cost-efficient than speculating in survival.

Innovation

Let pain lead the way.

Innovating with a clear pain-point in mind makes it both easier and prevents you from walking into the biggest innovation trap there is.

Water element

The healing power of water.

Whenever we need healing, we seek out water one way or the other, and there are two perfectly good reasons for it.

Innovation

The innovative rebellion.

As unique individuals, we want to be able to take our own route in life, and no one should interfere with that.

Personal Development

The avatar way.

Sometimes you just don't have access to a professional coach, and then it's great to be able to take the process yourself.

Innovation

The pressure cooker.

When innovating, pressure is a good premise.

Mind

If your mind was your body.

Use the five elements to connect your body to your mind, and prepare for new ideas.

Innovation

From worker to creator.

The masses of the world are changing their thinking, and it's nothing less than a revolution of how we work, live, and innovate.

Life

The art of letting go.

It's not always easy to let go of something, but it's a natural part of life, and autumn is the perfect time for it.

Life

If you don't fit the norm, don't.

The opinion of others, about whom you should be and how you should live, is useless. It's noise on your radar, and you better filter it out.

Writing

It's about connecting.

Writing is connecting with a source, we have no word for. Just like the samurais.

Seeker

Seek out your true element.

Even though most of our lives today are software based, we must remember we are also hardware, and seek out nature through our true element.

Writing

What's cooking?

Writing about food is one of the most rewarding things you can do, but it's also one of the hardest, and it takes a lot of practice.

Writing

Writing is mind traveling.

Every time you write, you take yourself and your reader on a journey inside your mind. It's a lot like travel writing, actually.

Fire element

The fire of conflict.

Conflict is what forces something to change, and change is what storytelling, or life, is all about. Like it or not, you need conflict.

Voice

Be true to your element.

Your voice grows out of your basic element, so it's important to know it and stay true to it. Otherwise, it's hard to find your voice.

Life

Your inner child.

Your inner child and your voice have something in common that all writers share. You simply cannot be a writer without it.
