“To Build a Movement. To be World Changers.”

-


 

Shared by Kristina Smedley

Are you in the camp of “I’ll believe it when I see it” or “I’ll see it when I believe it”?

JFK believed we could put a man on the moon. He was right.
Henry Ford believed he could mass-produce automobiles. And he did it.
Thomas Edison imagined the modern electrical grid. I can’t imagine where we would be without it.

Now, Elon Musk believes we can colonize Mars.
Musk and Jeff Bezos envision future space travel to be like today’s commercial airplane travel.

They are true visionaries.
They have moonshot ambition and ideas.
They believe that they’ll “see it when they believe it”.

Breanne and I feel very much the same way.
Not about traveling to space and colonizing planets – yikes!

But that if we can imagine it, believe in it and ourselves, and work hard, then one day we’ll be able to see it.

So… what’s “it”?

************************

Our vision is to build a Mindfluent™ Leadership movement!

To unite a community of impactful leaders who are empowered and able to unlock the potential of others and themselves, in order to create positive and lasting change in our schools, our businesses, and our communities.

To truly thrive. Together.

To be World Changers.

************************

So, we won’t see “it” as electrical grids, space travel, or vacations on mars.
We’ll know we’re successful when common discussions include:

“I feel safe at school.”

“Practicing mindfulness enables my creative side and brings into awareness ideas I could have never imagined otherwise. It’s a positive influence on my relationships, my leadership ability, and on my business success. Can you believe there was a time when people didn’t believe in this!”

“I love where I work. I feel valued, am able to contribute, and enjoy working with my colleagues.”

“I go home everyday ready to play with my kids and make a positive impact in my community.”

“Thank you for opening my eyes, heart, and mind. This is how I want to live and serve others.”

************************

Some of you might think this is crazy and lofty. Some might be confused.
Hopefully, many of you are excited about the potential.

Either way, all of you are probably thinking: “So, how will you do it?”

  1. Commit to being Mindfluent™ leaders in training our selves, always evolving around the 7 characteristics of a Mindfluent™ leader. Don’t know the 7 characteristics? Check them out: https://www.mindfluentleadership.com/

  3. Co-Found an ImpactClub in our community(s) – Ryan Fletcher! Check out Ryan’s brilliant idea: https://impactclub.com/
  4. Read and listen to anything we can to learn from other visionaries, other World Changers.

"Learning to Crawl..."

  Shared by Kristina Smedley Kaden has been blowing our minds with his persistence in learning how to crawl. I don’t know why this is surprising. For some reason, I expected that babies just crawled… not that I would see his very visible effort into actually learning and practicing how to crawl. #newmom ;-)   About two weeks ago, he started getting further up on his hands. And started a little rocking back and forth. Then slowly we saw a knee pop-under him.   Then a little lat pull-down type action to use his arms to lunge himself forward. Then all in about 24 hours he was army crawling, then getting his legs into it, and then suddenly he was coordinated and crawling around. I loved watching him figure this out.   And watching him struggle a little with something until he got the next piece down, and the next, and the next. And honestly, Kaden has been a great reminder to me that I too have to learn to crawl first, before I can walk and eventually run. And even ‘crawling' isn't

“Streaks…”

  Shared by Breanne Smedley Spend time around high schoolers and you’re sure to hear the word, “streaks.” More specifically, phrases along the lines of: “I gotta keep my streaks.” Or, “We broke our 100-day streak yesterday!” If you don’t hang out with high school-aged people every day, let me fill you in. “Streaks” refer to the ongoing exchange of photos/messages between two people on SnapChat. If a friend and I snap chat with each other for two days in a row, we have a two-day streak. Three days in a row, a three-day streak. Five days, a five-day streak. And so on until one person breaks it ad the streak has to start back over. Kids get a little neurotic about their streaks. I overheard a student talking about how she gave her SnapChat login information to a friend so that she could “keep her streaks” while on vacation without cell service. That’s commitment and problem-solving at it’s finest right there. While sometimes I don’t get it (because apparently I’m old and I haven’t even re

“Exhausted vs Inspiring…”

  Shared by Kristina Smedley “Exhausted vs Inspiring…” I have noticed two pretty distinct responses from others when I share what’s going on in my life right now. “Wow, that is inspiring!” -OR- “Ugg, you must be exhausted!” It seems that they’ve either had the experience of following their dreams and understand the commitment, hard work, and pure energy gained on the journey… whatever their personal journey might be. Or they’ve sat back in life, thinking it would just be too hard or not possible. We all run into this choice at one point or another. I’ve definitely had those moments where I didn’t go for it. And I remember feeling sluggish, uninspired… exhausted. This is the exact opposite of what life is like when stepping into, what we call, our ImpactZone™. Here, there’s unlimited energy as our passions are discovered and acted on. Where are our skills and abilities are utilized and further developed. Where we have a deep and meaningful purpose. Here, life is exciting, challenging, a
