"Any given moment contains unlimited futures that can become real. The reality that occurs is the one you pay attention to." [Quoting] Penney Peirce
In this inaugural episode of 2025 I reflect on three recent inspirations — a movie and two exhibitions — that explore themes of creativity, certainty and choice. Drawing connections between the iterative nature of creativity, life’s constant rewrites and the courage to start anew, I share insights into how we can embrace change and discover new possibilities and unlimited futures in the year ahead.
Life mirrors creative endeavours like writing, with continuous cycles of editing and rewriting.
From ancient oracles to modern self-reflection, humans have always sought direction and clarity.
It’s okay to start over, pivot or revise one’s path — every step adds to your story.
This episode might be a catalyst or companion for anyone seeking inspiration to rethink their direction, rewrite their plans and rediscover joy in the process of becoming.Resources Mentioned:
