You might not have paid attention to this, but in my Substack logo, the subline reads:
Embrace. Empower. Innovate.
I did’t come up with these words lightly. They mean everything to me, and I live by them. Every single day. In this article I would like to share with you, why it might be a smart thing for you do be the same.
Let’s first have a look at the ‘official’ definitions of these three words:
Embrace
To include or contain as part of something broader - to hold someone tightly with both arms to express love, liking, or sympathy.
Can you sense the powerful energy in this action? Nothing seems to be left out. What do you feel when you look at the article’s picture? The energy that drives this action is beyond powerful.
Empower
To give someone (official) authority or the freedom to do something.
Feel the freedom and strength behind this word, emphasizing the inherent sovereignty we possess as humans. We were offered this same empowerment at the moment of birth. Did you already fully use it?
Innovate
To introduce changes and new ideas: do something in a new way.
Does this evoke a sense of new possibilities, opportunities, or even sheer joy? Contrary to the daily news, all of these words resonate with positive sensations and energy.
How open and keen are you to be part of the ‘new human’ that doesn’t just settle for comfort, or chooses for the easy way out, but who feels a deep truth in embracing life to the fullest, even when it gets uncomfortable sometimes.
A while ago, I have been addressing the importance of understanding and embracing the Quantum Law and one paragraph in this article reads:
”As we embark on this transformative journey, we extend an unspoken invitation to others. By making this change in focus, we inspire those around us to embark on similar paths of deep understanding and empowerment. Just as a ripple expands across a pond, our individual shifts will resonate within the collective consciousness.”
In another article I shared with you the significance of creating a Parallel Society and shared with you this quote by well-respected visionary Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983):
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
That is Innovation at it’s highest level. And this attitude, this focus, this way of being is very important, if not critical, for evolving past the current state of being of humanity.
I therefore like to share with you some beautiful living examples which are being shaped by: Embrace. Empower. Innovate.
“Right now there are Tibetan Buddhist monks in a temple in the Himalayas endlessly reciting mantras for the cessation of your suffering and for the flourishing of your happiness.
Someone you haven't met yet is already dreaming of adoring you.
Someone is writing a book that you will read in the next two years that will change how you look at life.
Nuns in the Alps are in endless vigil, praying for the Holy Spirit to alight the hearts of all of God's children.
A farmer is looking at his organic crops and whispering, "nourish them."
Someone wants to kiss you, to hold you, to make tea for you.
Someone is willing to lend you money, wants to know what your favourite food is, and treat you to a movie.
Someone in your orbit has something immensely valuable to give you — for free.
Something is being invented this year that will change how your generation lives, communicates, heals and passes on.
The next great song is being rehearsed.
Thousands of people are in yoga classes right now intentionally sending light out from their heart chakras and wrapping it around the earth.
Millions of children are assuming that everything is amazing and will always be that way.
Someone is in profound pain, and a few months from now, they'll be thriving like never before. From where they are, they just can't see it.
Someone who is craving to be partnered, to be acknowledged, to arrive, will get precisely what they want — and even more. And because that gift will be so fantastical in its reach and sweetness, it will quite magically alter their memory of angsty longing and render it all "So worth the wait."
Someone has recently cracked open their joyous, genuine nature because they did the hard work of hauling years of oppression off of their psyche — this luminous juju is floating in the ether, and is accessible to you.
Someone just this second wished for world peace, in earnest.
Some civil servant is making sure that you get your mail, and your garbage is picked up, that the trains are running on time, and that you are generally safe.
Someone is dedicating their days to protecting your civil liberties and clean drinking water.
Someone is regaining their sanity.
Someone is coming back from the dead.
Someone is genuinely forgiving the seemingly unforgivable.
Someone is curing the incurable.
You. Me. Some. One. Now.”

What an amazing substack❣️ Yes, I see how these 3 words Embrace, Empower, Innovate, when sincerely applied, can make an incredible awareness shift in one’s life and also affect others. The woodland painting is so detailed and all encompassing of the elements and nature. ♥️
These words Dirk are very timely and so very meaningful. Being Irish, like a lot of British families, hugging wasn't done so much . I am thankful I appreciate the power in a hug , giving or receiving one...
