CO-CREATING WITH THE UNIVERSE

CO-CREATING WITH THE UNIVERSE - ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, including during A HAIRCUT

#rebirthleaders #jencoaching #534amrebirth

Yesterday, after a month of postponing, I finally went to cut my hair.

For many years, I’ve had a simple habit:

when I live somewhere long enough, I find one salon that feels right—and I stay with it.

It keeps life simple. It saves energy.

My hair is thick and strong; if the stylist isn’t refined enough, it becomes messy within days.

I carry a quiet belief:

wherever I go, I will meet the right person who understands my hair.

In the city I’ve lived in these past few years, I’ve continued traveling quite far to return to my old salon—the familiar one from where I used to live.

Once, I tried a new place near home and it didn’t suit me.

But deeper than that, there was another layer:

returning to the old place meant revisiting a neighborhood I once belonged to, greeting familiar faces, touching memory.

Last month, I didn’t go.

Logic said it was too far, too inconvenient.

But intuition whispered—something inside wasn’t ready.

Yesterday, I decided:

just walk into a nearby salon.

If it isn’t perfect, I can adjust next time.

My hair had grown too long, covering my eyes, brushing my neck.

And I remembered my belief: wherever I go, I will meet the right hands.

I searched online—most nearby salons were closed in the evening.

But on my way home, one was still lit.

As I passed the entrance, I noticed a father and son sitting outside, drinking tea.

A quiet feeling arose:

perhaps he is the owner.

Inside, one stylist was cutting hair,

a woman was washing another client’s hair.

I asked if the owner could cut mine.

She smiled: “He just stepped outside. I’ll call him in for you.”

It was the man I had just walked past.

I sat down.

Looked around.

Certificates on the wall.

Letters of appreciation.

He is a craftsman officially recognized by the State.

Twenty-five years in the profession.

Once selected to be trained to help develop Vietnam’s hair industry.

As he began cutting, I could feel the years in every movement.

No rush. No performance.

Just the steadiness of someone who has practiced one craft long enough for it to become character.

I recognized something familiar:

the journey of mastery.

Discipline behind what appears simple.

Invisible years held inside visible gestures.

I felt grateful.

We do not always return to old places simply because they are familiar.

Sometimes we step into a new place to meet a more mature version of ourselves—

even if, at the moment of deciding, we feel unready or imperfect.

Co-creating with the Universe does not have to look mystical.

Sometimes it is simply keeping your word to yourself: “It’s time.”

Sometimes it is choosing a new option instead of waiting for perfect conditions.

Sometimes it is trusting the devotion of someone who has quietly practiced for decades.

When I stepped out,

my hair felt lighter.

My spirit felt lighter.

Not only because it was freshly cut,

but because an old pattern had softened—

the belief that “only the familiar is safe.”

A haircut

can become a meeting point

between timing,

craftsmanship,

and becoming.

The Universe does not rush.

It aligns.

And when we choose to move, to show up, to be present—

with clarity and trust within—

things begin to coordinate

naturally,

deeply,

beautifully.

OUR WEEKEND TIME EACH DAY

‘Our WEEKEND TIME EACH DAY'

#rebirthleaders #jencoaching

Roxi:

“I love weekends.

They’re when I finally get to be with myself.

And sometimes… I don’t really have one.”

Jen:

“What if weekend time

isn’t something you wait for,

but something you create?”

Roxi:

“By actually giving space for it.”

Jen:

“Where does that space already exist in your day?”

Roxi:

“Lunch time.

Or the evening.”

Jen:

“And when does your body feel the most tense?”

Roxi:

“In the afternoon.”

Jen:

“So how could you bring

a little weekend

right there—

inside that tension?”

Roxi (after a pause):

“Meditate.

Or take a walk.”

Weekend time is no longer postponed

until Saturday arrives.

It is practiced-

in the middle of the day,

the hour,

the moment.

It begins the moment
we remember ourselves.
In the middle of work,
between meetings,
inside an ordinary afternoon—
there is always a small doorway back home:
a breath,
a walk under trees,
a pause long enough
for the body to soften.

We don’t create weekend time
by escaping life,
but by re-entering it
with presence.

Each day,
we practice returning—
to our bodies,
to what matters,
to one another.

And slowly,
life stops feeling like something to endure
until the weekend arrives,
and becomes something we are already living. 🌱

5.34AM A Daily Rhythm of Becoming

5.34 AM: A Daily Rhythm of Becoming

Mind – Body – Heart – Community – Habits

#gps2034 #534am #2023-2026

5:34 AM meets the morning

like a first breath of the day.

Present.

Just enough to return to ourselves

before we meet the world.

The morning opens with intention.

Intention shapes movement.

Movement is guided

by being fully here.

The body awakens.

Breath flows.

The mind softens and opens.

Energy rises naturally

when body, heart, and mind

are listened to together.

Learning becomes lived experience.

Listening. Practicing. Applying. Reflecting.

Each insight finds its place

inside real moments,

inside real choices.

Community creates resonance.

Buddy. Peer learning. Coach. Mentor.

Each person walks their own rhythm

and meets others

in sincerity and shared growth.

From there, everything returns to life:

work, leadership,

relationships, daily decisions.

Values are not concepts—

they are felt

in the way we live.

5:34 AM walks with your rhythm,

every day.

Each morning opens

a small doorway.

Each day deepens the path—

allowing awareness

to be embodied,

from the inside out.

.......................................

5:34 AM

Tâm – Thân – Trí – Cộng đồng – Thói quen

5:34 AM chạm vào buổi sáng

như một nhịp thở đầu ngày.

Hiện diện.

Để ta quay về với mình

trước khi bước ra thế giới.

Buổi sáng bắt đầu bằng chủ đích.

Chủ đích dẫn lối cho hành động.

Hành động được nuôi dưỡng

bởi sự hiện diện trọn vẹn.

Cơ thể chuyển động,

hơi thở lan tỏa,

tâm trí mở ra.

Năng lượng được đánh thức

theo cách tự nhiên nhất

khi thân – tâm – trí

được lắng nghe cùng lúc.

Tri thức được gieo vào đời sống.

Lắng nghe. Học hỏi. Áp dụng. Chiêm nghiệm.

Mỗi điều đi qua

đều tìm thấy chỗ đứng

trong trải nghiệm thật.

Cộng đồng tạo nên sự cộng hưởng.

Buddy. Peer learning. Coach. Mentor.

Những con người cùng bước

trong nhịp phát triển riêng,

và gặp nhau ở sự chân thành.

Từ đó, mọi điều được đưa vào đời sống:

công việc, lãnh đạo,

mối quan hệ, lựa chọn mỗi ngày.

Giá trị không nằm trên lý thuyết

mà hiện diện trong cách ta sống.

5:34 AM đi cùng nhịp sống của bạn,

mỗi ngày.

Mỗi buổi sáng mở ra

một cánh cửa nhỏ.

Mỗi ngày làm con đường

rộng hơn, sâu hơn —

để sự tỉnh thức

được sống ra

từ bên trong,

cùng nhau, lúc này, tại đây.

What comes from TRUTH: FEEL LIGHT. What comes from FEAR: FEEL LOGICALLY RIGHT

#gps2034

What comes from TRUTH: FEEL LIGHT

What comes from FEAR: FEEL LOGICALLY RIGHT

#rebirthleaders #jencoaching #1000soulsinme

Some thoughts arrive perfectly organized,

logical, reasonable,

supported by many explanations.

And quietly, the body responds-

the shoulders tighten,

the chest narrows,

something inside becomes just a little heavier.

Other truths do not rush to explain themselves.

They don’t need to be proven.

When they appear,

the breath deepens,

the chest softens,

and something inside opens.

As if a truer part of you

has been gently invited forward.

Truth is rarely loud.

It speaks through sensation,

through breath,

through a subtle spaciousness in the heart,

not pushing, not persuading.

Simply present-

asking to be felt.

When we slow down enough to notice,

when we stay long enough with ourselves,

the body becomes a compass,

the heart becomes a language.

And life continues to move-

lighter, clearer,

in a rhythm that is uniquely your own.

ĐIỀU ĐẾN TỪ THẬT - CƠ THỂ VÀ TRÁI TIM NHẸ

ĐIỀU ĐẾN TỪ SỢ - THƯỜNG NGHE CÓ LÝ

Có những ý nghĩ đến rất hợp lý,

xếp hàng gọn gàng trong đầu,

đủ lý do, đủ dẫn chứng.

Và rồi, cơ thể lặng lẽ phản hồi-

vai hơi căng, ngực khép lại,

bên trong có gì đó nặng hơn một chút.

Cũng có những điều chưa vội gọi tên,

chưa cần giải thích tròn trịa.

Chỉ là khi nghĩ đến,

hơi thở sâu hơn,

lòng ngực mở ra,

và bên trong bỗng nhẹ.

Như thể một phần rất thật của mình

được cho phép bước lên phía trước.

Sự thật thường không ồn ào.

Nó đến qua cảm giác,

qua nhịp thở,

qua sự rộng mở rất khẽ trong tim.

Không thúc ép, không biện minh,

chỉ hiện diện-

và mời ta lắng nghe.

Khi ta đủ chậm để cảm,

đủ yên để ở lại với chính mình,

cơ thể trở thành la bàn,

trái tim trở thành ngôn ngữ.

Và dòng chảy của cuộc sống

tiếp tục-

nhẹ hơn, thật hơn,

theo cách rất riêng của mỗi người.

From Passion to Career

#gps2034 From Passion to Career

#rebirthleaders #534am #jencoaching

Some journeys begin without certainty.

Some begin with a whisper—

a restlessness that refuses to sleep,

a question that keeps returning

even when life looks “good enough.”

You did not choose this path

to be loud,

or fast,

or impressive.

You chose it

because something inside you

asked to be lived.

Passion is not fire that burns everything.

It is an ember that stays—

patient, faithful,

waiting for your hands

to learn how to protect it

while the world tests you.

Career is not a title you arrive at.

It is a shape you grow into,

slowly,

through practice, doubt, courage,

and the quiet decision

to show up again.

There will be days

when passion feels small,

when progress feels invisible,

when you wonder

if you chose wrong.

Stay.

Because one day,

your skills will catch up to your heart.

Your experience will steady your vision.

Your work will begin to serve

not just you,

but others walking behind you.

And you will realize—

this was never about choosing

between passion and practicality.

It was about becoming

someone who could hold both.

This is not a straight line.

It is a living system.

A becoming.

And you are not late.

You are exactly

where the journey needs you to be.

A Letter to the Leader You Are ❤

Dear Next Creative Leaders,

Now, Leaders

You did not arrive here by accident.

You are here because something in you refused to settle for a smaller life—

a quieter voice,

a borrowed definition of success,

or a leadership role that asked you to leave parts of yourself behind.

Leadership, as you are discovering, is not a title.

It is a relationship evolution journey—with yourself, with others, and with life.

There will be moments when you feel uncertain.

Moments when clarity dissolves,

when results take longer than expected,

when the world asks you to move faster than your soul is ready for.

In those moments, remember this:

Confidence is not loud certainty.

It is the courage to stay present when answers are still forming.

Competence is not perfection.

It is the willingness to practice long enough for skill to become part of who you are.

Communication is not performance.

It is truth expressed with care.

Creativity is not chaos.

It is disciplined imagination in service of something meaningful.

Collaboration is not agreement.

It is shared ownership of a future larger than any one individual.

Commitment is not motivation.

It is choosing what matters—again and again—especially when it is inconvenient.

Compassion is not softness.

It is the strength to lead without hardening your heart.

As you walk this path, you will learn that leadership is not about standing above others,

but about standing with—

holding space,

listening deeply,

and making decisions that honor both impact and humanity.

You will outgrow versions of yourself.

You will refine your voice.

You will release what no longer serves the journey.

And slowly—almost quietly—

you will notice something shift.

Your presence will begin to steady rooms.

Your questions will open possibilities.

Your consistency will build trust.

Your contribution will ripple far beyond what you can measure.

This is not a race.

This is a lifelong practice.

Lead with clarity.

Act with integrity.

Build with others.

Commit with heart.

And when the path feels uncertain,

return to this truth:

You are not here to become someone else.

You are here to become fully yourself—

and to help others do the same.

With trust in your unfolding,

On the path of Infinite Flow with Love and Gratitude,

Jen, The Founder of the The Next Creative Leaders and you.

A conversation. A reminder. 1000 souls

#GPS2034

A conversation. A reminder. 1000 souls

#1000SoulsInMe

Hello (Jen’s nephew): For your next book, I want you to give me “The Magical Path.”

Jen: What makes you like that book, even though you still have many unread ones?

Hello: The title is great. When I hear it, I feel like reading it.

Jen: So the title really matters. If a book has a less exciting name but meaningful content, would you still read it?

Hello: Maybe… but a good title makes me more interested.

Jen: What if my next book is called “1000 Souls in Me”, would you want to read it?

Hello: That sounds interesting, auntie. If we had 1000 souls inside, we’d probably explode.

Jen: What would make us explode?

Hello: Because the souls would fight each other, all chaotic, and we couldn’t control them.

Jen: And if those 1000 souls worked together, would we have the power of 1000 souls?

Hello: That would be amazing… super powerful!

One title.

One book.

One conversation.

A doorway opens

to imagination,

to power,

to the potential quietly sleeping inside each of us.

We always carry more than one soul within us,

through every person we meet,

every name we hear,

every book we read,

every conversation we dare to enter.

And every moment

can be the moment we remember,

and allow that power

to awaken,

step by step,

day by day.

========================================================================================

#GPS2034 HELLO

Một cuộc hội thoại. Một lời nhắc. 1000 linh hồn#1000soulsinme

Hello (cháu của Jen): Cuốn sách sắp tới, con muốn dì tặng “Con đường huyền diệu.”

Jen: Điều gì làm con thích cuốn đó, con còn nhiều sách chưa đọc?

Hello: Vì cái tên hay. Nghe là con muốn đọc hơn.

Jen: … vậy tên sách quan trọng nhỉ. Nếu một cuốn tên chưa hay nhưng nội dung ý nghĩa, con có đọc ...?

Hello: Cũng có thể đọc… nhưng tên hay thì con thấy hứng thú hơn.

Jen: Cuốn sách sắp tới của dì tên là “1000 Souls in Me – 1000 linh hồn trong tôi”, con có muốn đọc...?

Hello: Nghe cũng được đó dì. Nếu trong mình có 1000 linh hồn chắc sẽ… nổ tung luôn.

Jen: Điều gì khiến chúng ta nổ tung...

Hello: Vì các linh hồn đó đánh nhau, loạn xạ, chúng ta không điều khiển được chúng...

Jen: Vậy nếu 1000 linh hồn đó làm việc cùng nhau, chúng ta sẽ có sức mạnh của 1000 linh hồn?

Hello: Tuyệt lắm dì… super luôn!

Một cái tên.

Một cuốn sách.

Một cuộc hội thoại.

Một cánh cửa mở ra

trí tưởng tượng,

sức mạnh,

và khả năng đang 'ngủ' bên trong mỗi chúng ta.

Chúng ta luôn mang trong mình nhiều hơn một linh hồn,

qua mỗi con người ta gặp,

mỗi cái tên ta nghe,

mỗi cuốn sách ta đọc,

mỗi cuộc trò chuyện ta dám bước vào.

Và mỗi khoảnh khắc

đều có thể là lúc ta nhớ lại

và cho phép sức mạnh ấy

được sống dậy,

qua từng bước đi,

từng ngày.

GRATITUDE FOR BEING MISUNDERSTOOD #gps2034

#gps2034 GRATITUDE FOR BEING MISUNDERSTOOD
A doorway into our next evolution

On the path of conscious living, a quiet pattern often appears:
misunderstanding arrives right before expansion.

It rarely feels comfortable,
especially when it touches the very values we believe we live by.

Yet beneath that discomfort is always an invitation:
to pause, to realign, to evolve.

We don’t seek misunderstanding.
But when it comes, we don’t resist it either.
We meet it—with honesty.

We ask:
Did I act from clarity or from the need to be accepted?
Is this a mirror revealing a blind spot I haven’t named yet?

We don’t use misunderstanding as an excuse to stop growing.
And we don’t hide behind “they don’t get me” to avoid self-reflection.

When we live in truth,
what’s meant to stay will stay.
What’s meant to leave will leave.
No force. No drama.

If today you feel misunderstood,
place your hand on your heart and ask:
Which version of me is being called forward now?

Grateful for every misunderstanding,
for it deepens our understanding of who we truly are.

=========
BIẾT ƠN “ĐƯỢC HIỂU NHẦM”
Một cánh cửa mở ra bước tiến hóa tiếp theo.
#RebirthLeaders #JenCoaching #1000soulsinme #534am
Bạn đã từng được hiểu nhầm, khi bản thân thêm bước tiến hóa, thật, sâu?

Một mô thức lặp lại rất lặng lẽ trên hành trình tiến hóa: khi chúng ta đi bước tiếp sống thật với chính mình hơn, được hiểu nhầm thường xuất hiện.

Cảm giác ban đầu hiếm khi dễ chịu,
đặc biệt khi sự hiểu nhầm chạm đúng vào giá trị cốt lõi mà ta nghĩ mình đã sống rất rõ.

Và rồi, nếu ta không phản ứng vội,
bên dưới làn sóng cảm xúc ấy luôn có một lời mời tinh tế hơn:
một điểm dừng để nhìn lại, một cơ hội để điều chỉnh, một ngưỡng cửa của tiến hóa.

Chúng ta không cố tạo ra sự hiểu nhầm.
Và khi nó đến, ta không chạy trốn, cũng không chống lại,
ta đón nhận và biết ơn, như một người bạn thẳng thắn.

Ta dừng lại. Kết nối lại với chính mình.

Ta tự hỏi:
+ Hành động của mình có xuất phát từ sự chân thành và nguyên bản không?
+ Mình đang sống từ giá trị gốc, hay đang vô thức tìm kiếm sự công nhận?
+ Sự hiểu nhầm này có đang soi chiếu một “điểm mù” mà mình chưa nhận ra?

Rồi ta hỏi sâu hơn:
+ Phiên bản nào của mình đang được mời gọi bước lên?
+ Điều gì bên trong đang cần được ôm trọn, làm mới, hay điều chỉnh tinh tế hơn?

Ta không dùng sự hiểu nhầm như cái cớ để chậm lại.
Cũng không lấy “người khác không hiểu mình” làm lý do để thôi tự soi chiếu.

Khi ta sống đúng – rõ – thật,
những gì cần ở lại sẽ ở lại.
Những gì cần rời đi sẽ rời đi.
Không cưỡng cầu. Không né tránh.

Phiên bản tiến hóa – thật – vững của chúng ta
không được sinh ra từ sự suôn sẻ,
mà từ những khoảnh khắc tưởng như rạn vỡ,
được nâng lên bằng một cái nhìn mới, chín hơn, rộng hơn.

Nếu hôm nay bạn đang được hiểu nhầm,
nếu ai đó chưa nhìn thấy bạn đúng như bạn đang là,
bạn đặt tay lên tim và thì thầm:
“Phiên bản nào của mình đang được mời gọi?
Và mình đã sẵn sàng bước tới,
nhẹ hơn, sáng hơn, trọn vẹn hơn chưa?”

Chúng ta đang cùng nhau tiến hóa,
mỗi người một con đường,
và luôn có thể nhìn nhau
bằng ánh mắt hiểu, tin, và đủ rộng để cho nhau lớn lên.

Biết ơn mọi sự hiểu nhầm,
vì chúng giúp ta hiểu chính mình sâu hơn.

DECISION

#gps2034 We decide and life remembers how to flow.
DECISION
Which decision have you made that you now feel deeply grateful for?
Which decision will you make today to meet life more fully with presence, courage, and openness?

The quality of our life is not defined by events,
but by the quality of the choices we make within them.
And the quality of our decisions grows
as we allow ourselves to experience deeply,
reflect honestly,
and renew our way of living day by day.

Every conscious and unconscious choice
has shaped who we are standing as today.
And every next decision
is an invitation to realign,
to soften,
to expand,
and to let life flow again.

Thank you for the decisions you have already made.
Thank you for the decisions you are about to make.
And thank you—for choosing to pause,
and meet yourself here, now, with Jen.

When the SOUL Meets the SYSTEM: 7 Practices for a Meaningful, Effective Week

#gps2034 When the SOUL Meets the SYSTEM

7 Practices for a Joyful, Effective Week #rebirthleaders #jen2034

1) Purpose meets Plan

Before setting goals, pause,

let purpose lead the plan.

Ask gently: Does this goal reflect the truest version of who I am becoming?

2) Listening meets Speaking

Listen beyond words,

feel what is not yet said.

Ask: Am I listening to understand, or simply to reply?

3) Alignment meets Action

Action becomes effortless when it is aligned,

return to your core values before moving.

Ask: Am I acting from inner truth, from the inside out?

4) Inspiration meets Indicators

Numbers matter—and so does life within them,

let meaning breathe through metrics.

Ask: Am I completing tasks, or radiating energy, clarity, and inspiration?

5) Compassion meets Challenge

Growth requires both care and courage,

challenge with presence, not pressure.

Ask: Am I leading from love and development, or from unresolved tension?

6) Innovation meets Service

Each act of service is a living offering,

refresh the essence, not just the output.

Ask: How can this value be deeper, truer, more alive?

7) Gratitude meets Goal

Gratitude is not the end—it is the way,

notice who you are becoming along the path.

Ask: Who am I, as I live this goal each day?

When the soul meets the system, work becomes art, leadership becomes love, and life flows through us naturally, meaningfully.

Wishing us a week lived with clarity, humanity, and quiet strength.

Love from jen.

Khi TÂM HỒN GẶP HỆ THỐNG

7 Thực hành cho một tuần sống có ý nghĩa và hiệu quả

#SoulMeetsSystem #RebirthLeaders #JenCoaching #jen2034

1) Ý nghĩa (Purpose) gặp Kế hoạch (Plan)

Trước khi đặt mục tiêu, dừng lại

để ý nghĩa dẫn đường cho kế hoạch.

Tự hỏi: Mục tiêu này có phản chiếu con người thật, tuyệt mà tôi đang trở thành không?

2) Lắng nghe (Listening) gặp Chia sẻ (Speaking)

Lắng nghe không chỉ bằng tai, mà bằng sự hiện diện,

nghe cả những điều chưa được nói ra.

Tự hỏi: Tôi đang nghe để hiểu, hay chỉ để phản hồi?

3) Hòa hợp (Alignment) gặp Hành động (Action)

Hành động trở nên nhẹ nhàng khi có sự hòa hợp bên trong,

quay về với giá trị cốt lõi trước khi bước đi.

Tự hỏi: Tôi đang hành động từ sự thật bên trong, hay từ áp lực bên ngoài?

4) Cảm hứng (Inspiration) gặp Chỉ số (Indicators)

Con số cần kết quả, nhưng con người cần sức sống,

để ý nghĩa thở trong từng chỉ số.

Tự hỏi: Tôi đang làm cho xong, hay đang lan tỏa năng lượng, sự rõ ràng và cảm hứng?

5) Từ ái (Compassion) gặp Thử thách (Challenge)

Phát triển cần cả yêu thương và dũng cảm,

thử thách với sự hiện diện, không phải căng thẳng.

Tự hỏi: Tôi đang dẫn dắt từ năng lượng chưa được lành, hay từ tình thương và mong muốn cùng lớn lên?

6) Sáng tạo (Innovation) gặp Phụng sự (Service)

Mỗi giá trị cho đi là một sinh thể sống,

làm mới tinh thần, không chỉ sản phẩm.

Tự hỏi: Làm sao để giá trị tôi trao sâu hơn, thật hơn, sống hơn?

7) Biết ơn (Gratitude) gặp Mục tiêu (Goal)

Biết ơn không chờ đến khi xong việc,

biết ơn ngay trong quá trình sống cùng mục tiêu.

Tự hỏi: Tôi đang trở thành con người thật, tuyệt của mình như thế nào mỗi ngày?

Khi tâm hồn gặp hệ thống,

công việc trở thành nghệ thuật,

lãnh đạo trở thành yêu thương,

và chúng ta sống cùng cuộc sống – một cách trọn vẹn.

Chúc chúng ta một tuần sống thật, tuyệt, sâu, vui, năng lượng.

THE SHIFT TO CO-CREATION

#gps2034 #NextCreativeLeaders

THE SHIFT TO CO-CREATION

There was a season when we carried everything ourselves.

Not because we had to

but because we could,

because we cared,

and because it felt faster, safer, more responsible.

And then, slowly, life began to send signals.

Fatigue that rest couldn’t fix.

Complexity that effort couldn’t solve.

Outcomes that required more than one mind, one role, one heart.

This post is born from that moment, if you have felt the above.

The shift to co-creation doesn’t happen when we are weak.

It happens when we are ready.

Ready to move from doing it all

to holding space for what truly matters to emerge.

Co-creation is not delegation.

It is not giving up standards.

It is a deeper form of leadership—

one that trusts people, timing, and shared intelligence.

Practically, this shift looks like:

• asking better questions instead of giving faster answers

• designing roles, not rescuing outcomes

• listening for alignment, not control

• letting others succeed with you, not under you

When leadership matures, it stops proving.

It starts inviting.

And what we build together—

lasts longer, breathes easier,

and carries less of our weight alone.

If you are sensing this shift in your work, your team, your life—

you’re not behind.

You’re evolving.

With clarity,

with trust,

with co-creation at the center.

MOTHER HABITS (the habit of habits)

#gps2034 #rebirthleaders #jencoaching
What are your 'mother habits' that 'give birth' to other habits that matter to your soul and goal?
We can see 'mother habits' are ways of being that quietly give birth to all other habits.

🌿MOTHER Habit 1: Life-as-Development
Make personal development as natural as waking up, eating breakfast, breathing.
We feed the body with food.
We feed the mind with learning.
So what do we feed the soul?

When this habit is alive,
we naturally ask: “What does my soul need today?”
Some meditate.
Some move their body.
Some choose presence, truth, silence—or all of them.

What do you feed your soul with?

🌿MOTHER habit 2: Seek Clarity and Set Intention

Begin from clarity before action,
by anchoring on what truly matters.

When this habit is alive,
other habits grow naturally:

  • We learn when to complete with improvement,
    and when to pause for depth—wisely, not rigidly.

  • We set intention for our life, year, week, and day,
    not as pressure, but as orientation.

  • We make decisions with more calm and confidence,
    because we know why we choose.

  • We stay focused on what matters most,
    without losing openness to what wants to emerge.

Clarity doesn’t rush.
Intention doesn’t control.
Together, they co-create.

What intention is guiding you right now?

🌿MOTHER habit 3: Co-create and lead from the true, best self

Meet the world—family, work, society—
from your truest self, not from reaction.

When this habit is alive,
other habits follow naturally:

  • We communicate with empathy, not defense.

  • We become intentional about the energy and feelings we bring into a room.

  • We collaborate across differences, without needing sameness.

  • We co-create success—ours and others’—without shrinking or competing.

Leadership begins before words,
in who we choose to be.

Which version of you are you showing the world today?

🌿MOTHER habit 4: Appreciate the Unwanted

This is the habit of meeting life as it is.

When the unexpected arrives,
we pause instead of panic,
feel instead of suppress,
and move forward with awareness.

With this habit, we develop emotional mastery:
the ability to stay present, learn, and respond—
even when things don’t go as planned.

Not everything is chosen.
But how we meet it always is.

How do you usually meet the unexpected?

🌿Mother Habits keep the main thing the main thing.

When these are alive,

other habits follow—naturally, consistently, joyfully.

🌿MOVING INTO OUR SOULFUL LEADERSHIP 'HOME 2026', our inner home

MOVING INTO OUR SOULFUL LEADERSHIP 'HOME 2026', our inner home

#GPS2034 #SoulfulInnovationLeadership #jen2034

The anchored question:

If you were designing the next decade of your leadership, what would you consciously choose not to carry forward to your home in 2026, here and now?

2026

Before we move forward,

we clean with appreciation.

Not because the past was wrong,

but because it has been lived.

We release what once protected us

but now weighs us down.

We keep what is true.

We thank what is complete.

We do not carry urgency into vision.

We do not bring fear into creation.

We step into the next chapter

lighter, clearer, and awake.

We choose to cross into 2026

with conscious choice, responsibility, and compassion.

For Founders, Leaders, and Influencers

Before scaling, we clear the old:

+ old roles

+ unclear ownership

+ hidden resentments

+ decisions made from fear rather than clarity

2026 is not just about doing more.

It asks us to be more, to embody deeper, more soulful leadership:

+ soulful roles

+ soulful structures

+ soulful agreements

+ soulful energy in the room

AND:

leadership becomes sustainable,

innovation stays human,

and we move into our new home—our inner home, here and now.

🌿 CHUYỂN VÀO “NGÔI NHÀ LÃNH ĐẠO TỈNH THỨC 2026” — NGÔI NHÀ BÊN TRONG
#GPS2034 #SoulfulInnovationLeadership #Jen2034

Câu hỏi neo tâm:
Nếu bạn đang thiết kế thập kỷ tiếp theo của hành trình lãnh đạo, điều gì bạn sẽ chủ động chọn không mang theo vào ngôi nhà 2026 của mình — ngay tại đây, ngay lúc này?

🌿 2026

Trước khi bước tiếp,
chúng ta dọn dẹp — với lòng tri ân.

Không phải vì quá khứ sai,
mà vì nó đã được sống trọn.

Chúng ta buông những điều từng bảo vệ mình
nhưng nay đã trở nên nặng nề.
Giữ lại điều chân thật.
Cảm ơn những gì đã hoàn tất.

Chúng ta không mang vội vàng vào tầm nhìn.
Chúng ta không mang nỗi sợ vào sáng tạo.

Ta bước sang chương mới
nhẹ hơn, rõ hơn, và tỉnh thức hơn.

Chúng ta chọn đi vào 2026
bằng ý thức lựa chọn, trách nhiệm, và lòng từ bi.

🌱 Dành cho Founders, Leaders & Influencers

Trước khi mở rộng,
chúng ta làm sạch cái cũ:

  • vai trò đã lỗi thời

  • trách nhiệm chưa rõ ràng

  • những góc khuất chưa được gọi tên

  • các quyết định sinh ra từ sợ hãi, không phải từ minh triết

2026 không cần ta đẩy hối hả.
Nó mời ta hiện thân sâu hơn cho lãnh đạo tỉnh thức:

  • vai trò có linh hồn

  • cấu trúc có linh hồn

  • cam kết có linh hồn

  • năng lượng có linh hồn trong mỗi căn phòng

Và khi đó:
lãnh đạo trở nên bền vững,
đổi mới vẫn giữ được tính người,
và ta thực sự bước vào ngôi nhà mới —
ngôi nhà bên trong — ở đây và ngay bây giờ.

GPS2034withJen❤️DISCIPLINE = INFINITE SELF-LOVE, TRUE FREEDOM

#GPS2034withJen 🌿❤️
DISCIPLINE = INFINITE SELF-LOVE → TRUE FREEDOM

If we ever learned to see discipline as the opposite of freedom,
of infinite flow,
of self-love—
GPS 2034 is here with us to rewrite that inner story
so we can create a new reality in 2026:
one of sustainable productivity, grounded joy, and effortless flow.

🌿We tune into a new understanding of discipline:
+ Freedom, not restriction.
+ Flow, not pressure.
+ Self-love in action, not self-judgment.

With discipline:
+ Love becomes behavior.
+ Care turns into consistency.
+ Intention becomes freedom lived, daily.

When you love yourself deeply:
+ you don’t abandon yourself to distraction.
+ you don’t trade tomorrow for temporary comfort today.
+ you don’t eat, speak, work, or live
in ways that leave your body heavy
or your heart disappointed.

🌿GPS 2034 with jen - Soulful & Practical Discipline:
1) Reframe discipline with a new lens: Discipline = Self-Love
You eat well because you respect your body.
You don’t blame because you protect your peace.
You don’t procrastinate because you honor your future self.

2) Discipline includes returning—again and again
Habits are built through return, not perfection.
Missing a day is not failure.
Discipline is the gentleness to come back
without shame, without drama—
only truth.

3) Build systems that love you back
Use reminders that invite your habits.
Shape environments that make the right choice easier.
Track progress and celebrate quietly, consciously.

4) Create a mastermind—your shared rhythm
Discipline grows faster when practiced together.
Choose people who help you remember
who you are becoming.

5) Practice gratitude as discipline
Morning: name three things you’re grateful for.
Challenge: thank it for stretching you.
Evening: close the day with appreciation.
GRATITUDE stabilizes discipline.
Discipline protects joy.

🌿GPS 2034 INSIGHT:
When discipline comes from love,
productivity becomes sustainable.
Freedom becomes natural.
Leadership flows from the inside out.

We don’t need to be harsher.
We need to be truer.

With love,
Jen 🤍
#GPS2034 #InfiniteFlow #SelfLoveInAction #SoulfulInnovationLeadership #Jen2034

Reflection for Infinite Flow

• If discipline were an act of self-love, what one small choice would I honor today?

• What distraction am I ready to release so my energy can return to what truly matters?

• What rhythm, habit, or support would help me live with more freedom, flow, and joy—starting now?

G.P.S 2034: INFINITE FLOW

If your heart is tired of pushing

and ready to flow with coherence, infinitely,

you are already part of this journey.

GPS 2034

where leaders don’t burn out

we flow from inside out.

With depth.

With compassion.

With infinite flow.

GPS 2034 is for the leaders who feel this shift in their bones:

• From control → coherence

• From hustle → harmony

• From identity → essence

• From success → collective legacy

• From local → international

• From or to and

To lead, not anchored by force.

To create something not anchored by depletion.

To move in infinite flow —

where wisdom, compassion, and impact meet.

You listen before you act.

You trust rhythm over urgency.

You build from the inside out —

so nothing collapses later.

This path does not ask you to abandon ambition.

It asks you to soften the grip

so ambition can breathe, mature, and serve life.

Here, leadership becomes a living system.

Here, innovation is soulful.

Here, power is gentle and therefore lasting.

Love from Jen

EVOLUTION with INTENTIONAL ADAPTATION inside out

EVOLUTION with INTENTIONAL ADAPTATION inside out

#SundayGratitudeNotes #Jen2034 #nextu #nextuliving

Some journeys

ask us to travel far

to realize how much we’ve grown.

Some journeys

ask us to stand still—deep enough

to hear the inner call.

And some journeys

invite us to do both:

to move

and to listen.

True adaptation is a conscious choice—

choosing a way to evolve

that honors who we are

and respects others.

Sometimes, adaptation means leaving—

not to escape,

but to find the space we need to mature.

Sometimes, adaptation means timely silence—

not out of fear,

but out of love for the relationship,

choosing not to speak while emotions are still sharp.

Sometimes, adaptation means speaking up—

at the right moment,

with clarity, constructiveness,

and respect.

Silence is not weakness.

Silence is wisdom

when we want relationships to be upgraded,

not wounded.

Silence to let emotions settle.

Silence to see what truly matters.

Silence not to bury feelings,

but to transform challenge into growth.

True adaptation is living aligned with our core values,

in harmony with circumstance,

without losing ourselves.

And you?

How are you adapting in this season of life?

Listening more deeply?

Changing to grow wiser?

Or stepping into a new direction—more honest with yourself?

Grateful for the journey.

Grateful for nature.

Grateful for those who walk beside us.

And grateful for every moment of

conscious evolution—from the inside out.

TIẾN HÓA cùng THÍCH NGHI CHỦ ĐỘNG – TỪ TRONG RA NGOÀI cùng nhà báo Nguyễn Cao Cường, đối tác của NEXT U tại bản Nậm Nghiệp, xã Ngọc Chiến, huyện Mường La, Sơn La.

Có những hành trình

đi xa để thấy mình đang lớn lên.

Có những hành trình

đứng yên đủ sâu

để nghe được tiếng gọi bên trong.

Và có những hành trình

vừa đi

vừa lắng.

Thích nghi hiệu quả là một lựa chọn có ý thức –

chọn cách tiến hóa

phù hợp với mình

và tôn trọng người khác.

Có lúc, thích nghi là rời đi.

Không vì trốn tránh,

mà vì biết mình cần một không gian khác để trưởng thành.

Có lúc, thích nghi là im lặng đúng lúc.

Không vì sợ hãi,

mà vì đủ yêu mối quan hệ này

để không nói ra khi cảm xúc còn sắc cạnh.

Có lúc, thích nghi là lên tiếng –

đúng thời điểm,

với sự rõ ràng, xây dựng

và lòng tôn trọng.

Im lặng không từ yếu đuối.

Im lặng từ trí tuệ

khi ta muốn mối quan hệ được nâng cấp,

không bị tổn thương.

Im lặng để cảm xúc lắng xuống.

Im lặng để thấy điều gì là cốt lõi.

Im lặng không để chôn cảm xúc,

Im lặng để chuyển thách thức thành cơ hội tiến hóa.

Thích nghi thật sự là

sống đúng với giá trị lõi của mình,

hài hòa với hoàn cảnh,

mà không đánh mất chính mình.

VÀ bạn?

Bạn đang thích nghi bằng cách nào trong giai đoạn này?

+ Im lặng để lắng nghe sâu hơn?

+ Thay đổi để trưởng thành hơn?

+ Hay bước đi theo một hướng mới – trung thực hơn với chính mình?

Biết ơn hành trình.

Biết ơn thiên nhiên.

Biết ơn những người đồng hành.

Và biết ơn từng khoảnh khắc

tiến hóa có ý thức – từ trong ra ngoài.

YOUR NEXT DECADE OF LASTING IMPACT

starts with a Soulful Innovation Leadership Journey.

2034 is not a destination.

It is a compass.

 

A reference point that gently reminds you

who you are becoming

before the world asks you to perform again.

 

You have already built something meaningful.

You have led teams, projects, lives.

You have created results others can see.

 

And now, there is a pause.

Not a stop.

A deepening.

 

A moment where leadership stops being about survival

and starts asking for integrity.

Where execution makes room for essence.

Where success learns how to breathe.

 

GPS 2034 is for the leader

who no longer needs to prove

but chooses to live in truth.

Who leads with perspective, not reaction.

Who builds what can outlive titles and timelines.

 

Golden Goal:

Behind ambition is truth.

Present:

Behind pressure is awareness.

System:

not hustle, but habits, skills, relationships

that aligns with who you are

with what you are building.

 

Here, the power of 1000 souls integrates

experience, wisdom, failure, love

into one clear direction.

 

You lead today

from the future self

who already knows what matters.

Step by step.

Breath by breath.

Here. Now.

 

GPS 2034

Lead today

from the leader you truly are.

GRATITUDE

GRATITUDE #rebirthleaders

#1000soulsinme

Roxi and I recently had a chance to reflect on our shared journey: a journey that began when she reached out to work with me through my Rebirth Leadership Coaching Program after we met during the 100km ultra run in Cambodia.

What started as a physical challenge became a doorway to something much deeper:

a space for reflection, inner strength, and honest transformation.

Step by step, breath by breath, we discovered that leadership like endurance running which is not about speed, but about presence, resilience, and listening to what truly matters.

Looking back, we both smiled at how life connects people at exactly the right moment, through experiences that test the body, open the heart, and awaken the soul.

Some journeys begin with a single step.

Others begin with a long run — and become a lifelong unfolding.
