Your Vault of opportunities and ‘Life’
In Spitsbergen, somewhere between Norway and the North Pole, millions of life giving seeds are stored in the Global Seed Vault.
The Vault (referred to by some as the ‘doomsday” vault) houses more than 1,250,000 varieties of seeds that you plant to eat daily on Earth.
The safeguard of these seeds is vital to human existence if anything (from nature to human intervention) would challenge your way of life and thus the creation of this amazing structure with its content.
The films ‘Civil War’, ‘Armageddon’ and ‘Deep Impact’ come to mind when one mentions this Vault.
In those movies the ‘vault’ wasn’t for seeds but actually for humans and animals after the anticipated asteroid collision with Earth or extremist movements in political spaces and sabotages that would change the way humans lived after.
Those vaults represented survival.
The ‘Global Seed Vault’s’ purpose came about re-actively because of humans disregard to each other, Earth and the Solar System.
The following definitions bring more clarity to this ‘re-active’ behavior:
Survive: continue to live or exist, especially in spite of danger or hardship.
Thrive: prosper; flourish.
From the definitions one can say that to survive has a foot in negativity vs thriving’s foot in positivity.
Both require the same energy to focus on or action.
What might your life, goals and actions look like if you were focused on thriving as objective?
This Vault is very important but what if all this time, energy and money to establish an extreme but important Vault to restore (not advance) were turned around into proactive advancement for humankind?
How different might the content be from today’s list?
Think broader about what already has been lost – the Dodo, Quagga and Black Rhino?
What have you lost out on already?
Which ones can you bring back for a more content life and mind?
In a time where you have so much that is demanding your time, focus and energy, where are you storing your life giving needs?
If you proactively were to fill a vault to assist you to thrive – what would be on the stock list?
This important list should honor your unique needs and wants.
These could change over time which means updates and restocking.
How far off is your current ‘day-to-day’ to your vault list?
Which old survival resources need to be removed in your new thriving vault?
So many plans and ideas today have their origin in external reactive modes, building others vaults even.
What are you re-actively managing versus proactively mastering?
A life with all the human facets of purpose and spirituality, physical being, unique traits, relational desires and financial requirements to do it all, should be about prospering and flourishing.
‘A prospering you’, doesn’t need survival techniques or reactive restoration.
‘A prospering you’, is in charge of your own destiny above everybody else’s.
‘A confident you’, will flourish when you honor yourself.
Here is to many unique ‘living-giving’ vaults!
Building anything takes time, resources and focus.
The less noise and clutter involved, the more attention to purpose, which brings sustainability.
