The essence of a is
in each and every facet of life, for present and future generations
of human kind and the world we live in.
There is a clear correlation between the ability to create a vision about the future that relates to one’s life,and his success in actualizing ambitions.
(Polak 1961).
Future intelligence is the human and social ability required to fashion and implement a desirable future, for humanity and all of biological diversity, and for the world.
Study of possible scenarios
Molding future perceptions
Study of unfeasible or wild scenarios
Forecasting of trends
In order to move to a new sphere,
That awaits us beyond the horizon,
We had better let go of the
fractures of our past,
At the narrowest passageway in the world,
As narrow as the eye of a needle,
And precisely, as at the moment of death,
We arrive there, vacant , and clear.
(Shlomo Shoham)
Future Oriented Leadership is the
human and social ability that is required
to lead, shape and implement desired
future for humanity, for all of biological
diversity and for the world.
“A human being is a part of a whole, called by us
'universe’.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as
something separated from the rest... a kind of
optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us
to our personal desires and to affection for a few
persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison
by widening our circle of compassion to embrace
all living creatures and the whole of nature in its
beauty”.

The Invitation
•It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
•It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
•It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
•I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.
•I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.
•It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
•I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
•I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes.'
•It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
•It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
•It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
•I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
“Vision is the dream that flows unto reality.Vision is the choice of an individual, to shape its future perceptions.Vision is the ability to rise above mundane concerns, above living in reaction to reality, above fear of the future, to a sphere of boldness and magic. Vision is creation, inspiration.Vision is courage—to see the future to which we aim, even when emotional turmoil around us and background noises—cause havoc.Vision is choice to create what is possible, and what is perceived as impossible.Let’s look forward and say -Yes, world, we are ready to take the risk.We are creating a new direction and a new reality for this planet. We are creating a home where we shall be able to realize our simple, personal dreams, the dreams of our planet earth and the dreams of the generations to come “
“…the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do,
begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now.”
William Hutchinson Murray
