Curiosity is the antidote to fear. Fear makes you smaller; curiosity broadens your view and leads you to new ideas, experiences, and people. This past month, I found a huge source of inspiration at the yearly Dynamite Circle Conference in Bangkok. In this Inspiration shot, I\u2019m sharing some of the best examples and experiments you can try yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Discover your superpower. What\u2019s your success system?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

During\u00a0Jodie Cook<\/a>\u2019s workshop ‘Be more you!’ in Bangkok, we mapped out our personal 6-step success systems. For many, it starts with research, watching videos, and consulting experts. My approach is exactly the opposite! The secret? Jump straight into action without getting stuck in the planning phase. This is my success system, which I use for projects like Coins for Care, my books, and even my\u00a0theater show<\/a>\u00a0next year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make your intentions public<\/li>\n
  2. Talk about it with everyone (including experts and journalists)<\/li>\n
  3. Act as if it\u2019s already real<\/li>\n
  4. Take small steps<\/li>\n
  5. Overcome obstacles and keep going<\/li>\n
  6. Celebrate your success and share your lessons<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is how I reach my goals. What\u2019s your success strategy?<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Discover yourself: a question for ChatGPT!<\/h2>\n<\/div>

    A simple question to ChatGPT revealed insights about myself that I hadn\u2019t expected. Try asking it yourself:\u00a0\u201cWhat do you know about me, based on our interactions, that I might not know myself?”<\/em><\/p>\n

    The answer was a real eye-opener for me. Here\u2019s a part of it:<\/p>\n

    Curiosity-driven resilience: You\u2019re not only resilient but also driven by curiosity to explore boundaries and overcome obstacles. It\u2019s not just about bouncing back but asking, \u201cWhat can I discover here?\u201d This curiosity transforms setbacks into new adventures and gives you a unique edge in personal and professional challenges.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Authentic Relating<\/h2>\n<\/div>

    My last weekend in Amsterdam, I attended an ART workshop.\u00a0Authentic Relating<\/a>\u00a0is a set of principles and exercises designed to build real, inspiring, and meaningful connections and relationships with everyone in your life. Being authentic means being real, and ‘relating’ means connecting with the other. You can be authentic without connecting, and you can connect without being authentic. To practice AR well, you need both.<\/p>\n

    The five core principles are:\u00a0Welcome Everything, Assume Nothing, Reveal Your Experience, Own Your Experience, Honor Self & Other.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The goal is simple: to be yourself in connection with another. AR is something you\u00a0embody. You don\u2019t\u00a0think\u00a0about it; you\u00a0are\u00a0it. It\u2019s a way of being, not thinking. The friend who recommended this workshop told me that the connection exercises felt like those in a tantra workshop\u2014but with clothes on \ud83d\ude1c So a great introduction for ‘beginners’.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    In this last live online workshop, I\u2019ll share practical steps to turn any experience into a project or business, just as I did with seemingly unrelated things like a cruise, tango dancing, and olive picking.<\/p>\n
