MUD\WTR: Trends with Benefits

Lao Tzu said, "We make a vessel from a lump of clay, but it is the empty space within the vessel that makes it useful." We often ignore the space in between, but Emmy Award-winning director, author, and experience designer Topaz Adizes knows that's where the magic is. He believes in asking each other the right questions to provoke and challenge us. In the space between what is said, the space between listening and reacting, lies the possibility of shifting the direction of our lives.

We can't control how others think, feel, or behave, but that doesn't stop us from trying. One of the ways we do this is through self-centric storytelling. We make assumptions about others that put us at the center of the action. But that leaves us organizing around fear and control instead of truth and love. Today's pod challenges you to upgrade the stories you tell about yourself and others to bring ease and accuracy to your worst-case scenarios.

Do you have a favorite mood? Our frame of mind influences our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It also affects our relationships and our experiences. While so much of life is out of our control, one thing we can actively shape for the better is our mood. And we don't just mean "Think happy thoughts" (does that actually work for anyone?) However, some moods are more generative than others, like curiosity versus defensiveness. If you're dissatisfied with your default disposition, it might be time to turn off emotional cruise control and consciously choose how to orient yourself to the world around you.
