your message matters
We’re living in a time when old stories of the world are breaking down.
More and more people are seeing and feeling it, as a sense of unease at the edges or a head-on reality gap collision. People are hunting for ways of making sense of the world that they can believe in.
And those of us with messages to share need to help them get there. The world we want is waiting to be made. But only if enough of us manage to make the jump. [Read more…] about Agents of S.T.O.R.Y.
It’s an old metaphor. The fork in the road. The point of choice. Do we take the upward path to the world we want to see, or the downward path of fear and short-term convenience?
From personal development work helping individuals to campaigning to influence governments, if you are helping to make things better you are part of the same big picture. And you need to get better at broadcasting your messages over the noise.
I wanted to ‘nudge’ myself into doing some video work, and I thought the best place to start was with this.
‘The upward path’ started as a bit of a placeholder concept while I was working on other things. But I’ve come to realise it’s a pretty good label for the big picture that is my ‘why’ – and that it’s important to talk about in its own right as part of my own body of messages.
(I’ve also been sharing word-graphics on Twitter under #upwardpath – and Facebook with the tag used less consistently!)
There was a false start with uncooperative technology, and a surprising amount of resistance around being visible, but I think it’s turned out pretty well. Do leave feedback about the content or cinematography in the comments!
