<\/a><\/p>\nYour Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP) is your North Star, your fuel, your magnet. It will make you unstoppable. It will make you compelling. It will draw support to you from unexpected quarters. Your clear intention is the firm foundation upon which everything else is built.<\/p>\n
Your MTP answers this question:<\/p>\n
If the success or failure of our planet and all life upon it depended upon your actions, what would you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n Your MTP springs forth from the depth of your soul and is fed by your unique life experiences. It is not like the decal of water lily, lacking depth and glued on top of your life.\u00a0 It like a real water lily, rooted in the mud of your life experiences, and blooming beautifully as it floats upon the gently undulating lake of your consciousness, offering its sweet scent and captivating beauty generously to all.<\/p>\n You are unique and your MTP is unique. You are the only person alive on planet Earth who can fulfill your MTP exactly as you will. Therefore, it is both your joy and your responsibility.<\/p>\n To help you connect with the whispers in your soul, write down a list of:<\/p>\n Nodes of curiosity and surprising intersections provide clues to your unique MTP. Focusing on what you are curious about will increase flow. Flow makes work feel joyful and effortless\u2014while it can also increase your creativity and productivity by as much as 500%.\u00a0 (For recommended reading about flow, see links below.)<\/p>\n Steven Kotler, author of \u201cThe Habit of Ferocity\u201d and the cofounder of the Flow Genome Project, inspired me to create a bigger, bolder vision for my future, and my intention is to inspire you to do the same.<\/p>\n After you have a list of things you\u2019re curious about and problems you\u2019d like to solve, define your Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP). It is fed by your own unique life experiences, so it can evolve as you do. But right now, I invite you to define it as clearly and sharply as you can.<\/p>\n A powerful MTP has a strong polarity. It is a magnet. It will repel and attract. Your tribe will say, \u201cYES! I agree! How can I help?\u201d<\/p>\n The rest of the world may think you are crazy, delusional, or an ego-maniac. Expect your perfectly-selected MTP to be challenged, scorned, or doubted by others. That is a sign you are on the right track. The words you choose to capture your intention are your shield and your sword. They create a boundary and demarcation of the area you have chosen to protect, to heal, to champion.<\/p>\n Your MTP will help you weather life\u2019s inevitable storms.<\/p>\n A perfect storm devastated Buckminster Fuller\u2014he was expelled from Harvard, his business failed, he lost all his money, and he lost the confidence of his friends and family who had believed in him and invested in his business. As if all of that was not bad enough, his baby daughter died. Things looked hopeless. He had no money, no degree, no reputation, and no prospects.<\/p>\n Buckminster Fuller despaired and seriously considered drowning himself. But then he had a mystical experience that changed the trajectory of his life. He heard a voice that told him he did not have the right to end his life, as his life did not belong to him. He had an epiphany and understood that he (and every other human being) belonged to the Universe. Then he made this vow:<\/p>\n \u201cSo I vowed to keep myself alive, but only if I would never use me again just for me<\/strong>\u2014each one of us is born of two, and we really belong to each other. I vowed to do my own thinking instead of trying to accommodate everyone else\u2019s opinions, credos, and theories. I vowed to apply my own inventory of experiences to the solving of problems that affect everyone on planet Earth.<\/strong>\u201d[i]<\/span><\/a> Buckminster Fuller<\/p>\n How does that strike you?<\/p>\n Here\u2019s my reaction to his vow:<\/p>\n \u201cThis moved me to tears. No one is coming to save us. No one is coming to save Mother Earth. It is up to us. We are all connected in the web of life. Each person can see and take action to solve the problem that is right in front of them, in their own area of enthusiasm and expertise<\/strong>, in their own family, neighborhood, or business. We have the world wide web of information. What if we had a world wide web of compassionate, caring, proactive leadership? A grass-roots movement independent of government or large, lumbering, self-serving corporations? We would be unstoppable!\u201d<\/p>\n Buckminster Fuller remained true to his MTP for the rest of his life. He demonstrated the enormous impact that one man without a degree or money can create. Devoted to creating \u201cmore with less\u201d he invented the geodesic dome, which made low-cost housing a reality. Bucky inspired and influenced many people with his books and more than one hundred speaking engagements each year. His last speaking engagement was to a sold-out crowd in Huntington Beach, California, just a week before his death at the age of 88. His final talk focused on the importance of integrity.<\/p>\n An engineer by training, Fuller stated that the most important thing is integrity, by which he meant to hold one\u2019s shape. A bridge that has integrity does not collapse in the wind. Your MTP will help you hold your shape and not be swayed by the opinions of others.<\/p>\n As you create your MTP, here are some more thoughts from Fuller to \u201cprime the pump\u201d so to speak. I recommend you write down your reactions, then mediate for a few minutes, and then write down your own MTP.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most special thing about me is that I am an average man<\/strong>. I say that as a challenge to any limitation you may have accepted in your life.\u201d – Buckminster Fuller<\/p>\n Robert White, author \u201cLiving an Extraordinary Life\u201d, shared this reaction:<\/p>\n \u201cI was shocked\u2026. My business success and lots of therapy had not been adequate to erase a history of feeling \u201cless than.\u201d I felt I needed to stretch in order to get up to average and here was one of my heroes saying firmly and sincerely that he was just that: average. … Something shifted within me and it has made all the difference in my life. Bucky stole my best excuse for being and doing less than my potential<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n Have you been using a sense of not being \u201cgood enough\u201d to avoid living up to your full potential?<\/p>\n \u201cWe are called to be architects of the future<\/strong>, not its victims. The challenge is to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time, with spontaneous cooperation, and without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone.\u201d – Buckminster Fuller<\/p>\n What kind of future would you design?<\/p>\n \u201cI live on Earth at present, and I don\u2019t know what I am. I know I am not a category. I am not a thing\u2014a noun. I seem to be a verb<\/strong>, an evolutionary process\u2014an integral function of Universe.\u201d – Buckminster Fuller<\/p>\n How can you take right action?<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to decide whether you want to make money or make sense<\/strong> as the two are mutually exclusive.\u201d – Buckminster Fuller<\/p>\n Here, Fuller is talking about an error of thinking\u2014chasing the SYMBOL of value\u2014rather than VALUE itself. If you create value, the natural byproduct is wealth (unless you have a kink in your \u201creceiving\u201d hose). Giving and receiving occur simultaneously and define each other. If you idolize the symbol of wealth, your thinking is inaccurate. You may do things that don\u2019t make sense. You can\u2019t eat dollar bills. But producing true wealth makes sense.<\/p>\n Fuller was emphasizing the importance of intention. If your intention is to make money and hoard it, your plans will not be supported by others (or by the principles of Nature), and you are likely to fail. On the other hand, if your intention is to create value and contribute to others, that makes sense. Your plans will be supported and you are likely to succeed. By putting his focus on projects that made sense, Fuller generated an annual income of over one million dollars in the 1950s. Understanding that Nature never hoards, he reinvested his income in other worthwhile projects that would help humanity thrive.<\/p>\n How can you create true value?<\/p>\n \u201cOn the edge of a large ship\u2019s rudder is a miniature rudder called a trimtab. Moving that trimtab builds a low pressure which turns the rudder that steers the giant ship with almost no effort. In society, one individual can be a trimtab, making a major difference and changing the course of the gigantic ship of state. So I said, \u2018Call me Trimtab.\u2019\u201d – Buckminster Fuller<\/p>\n Fuller was a Trimtab. You can be one, too.<\/p>\n Now you are likely in a good frame of mind to create your own Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP). I recommend you take a few calming meditative breaths, then create your own MTP. Share who or what you have decided to serve, to champion, to build. Write down how this will make the world (or your corner of it) a better place. Declare who you have decided to be in a series of \u201cI am\u201d statements.<\/p>\n As an example, here is what I declared:<\/p>\n MY MASSIVELY TRANSFORMATIVE PURPOSE<\/strong><\/p>\n To launch thought leaders who serve as independent Trimtabs in their own field of expertise and enthusiasm, with the overall result that we collectively raise the consciousness, playfulness, and prosperity of every life we touch, blessing humanity and Mother Earth. I am an alchemist who helps the architects of a better future transmute the heavy lead of setbacks, trauma, and grief into the gold of wisdom, compassion, and enlightenment.<\/p>\n I AM \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Now it\u2019s your turn. I\u2019d love to read your MTP and your \u201cI am\u201d declarations!<\/p>\n Aurora Winter, MBA, author, trainer www.AuroraWinter.com<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Recommended reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThought Leader Launch; 7 Ways to Make 7 Figures with Your Million-Dollar Message\u201d by Aurora Winter.
