Yohoo! New mailing list for the PoC network in Ukraine

Here we go... yeah... the new mailing list for the Pioneers of Change in Ukraine has been created >> ukraine-join@lists.pioneersofchange.net

The invitation for the current and future mates to join will follow shortly.

And exactly at the right time. Tomorrow at 7am I'm off to head for the Chernihiv lyceum for talented young people to break conversations about future, and about Pioneers of Change in Ukraine... Cool!

In anticipation...

Practicing fearlessness...

Tom Peters once wrote about "1 minute excellence"... That is when a person starts to be the way one wants to just in 1 minute... ?! This is how much time one needs to literally make a decision about it. Indeed, it took me no more than 1 minute to decide I want to be fearlessness. This minute wanted to happen long ago, but actually came clear and fast after reading one of the articles at the Margaret J. Wheatley's webpage. And now within a month I see it works by getting feedback from my friends and colleagues that I've changed, become more wild (read 'myself' or 'warrior' ;) in a way. I stand for my values, and claim them, challenging the faked things and intentions, ready to be hurt and cut what's not mine, valuing diversity, appreciating realness, strengthening faith, love and compassion at the same time.

And this is soooo important to nurture fearlessness... and keep the ground, yet trying to be hooked up to the sky (this is from Toke Moeller's aikido lesson). So, the message with the quote from Richard Moreham, the author of the human innovation blog, arrived to my mail-box ontime:

• “It is a vision John Stuart Mill, one of the founders of classical economics, would have approved of. In his Principles of Political Economy, published in 1848, he predicted that once the work of economic growth was done, a ‘stationary’ economy would emerge in which we could focus on human improvement: ‘There would be as much scope as ever for all kinds of mental culture, and moral and social progress... for improving the art of living and much more likelihood of it being improved, when minds cease to be engrossed by the art of getting on.’”

This gives a sense of being 'on the right track', being in harmony with the own values... This gives more courage to practice fearlessness, while moving forward and making things happen.
