Appreciation: Appreciation for the Positive Qualities in Various Future Situations

You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop… the Relating dimension! (Thank you for letting us include a Twilight Zone reference - this is a foresight podcast, after all.) Our first stop in this new dimension within the Inner Development Goals: Appreciation, a skill, and trait that enables us to cultivate wonder, gratitude, and awe - important capabilities if we want to become deep imaginariums and generative wellsprings of alternative possibilities and transformational realities. Without the ability to appreciate the unfolding world around us and to recognize the joyous potentialities that reside in spaces that are yet to be, our futures thinking will fall prey to the systemic dominance of a seemingly inescapable “nowism” or a fatalistic vision of self-fulfilling apocalypticism. As the inspirationalist Wayne Dyer once said, “The Universe provides abundantly when you’re in a state of gratefulness.”
