Spirituality at the Core of Innovation
I started the week off at the Social Good Summit & the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting here in New York. I am overwhelmed–in good ways and bad. While it’s impressive and inspiring to witness the innovative ways folks are tackling the world’s most pressing needs, it’s equally daunting to see the volume of work still left to be done.
And with all of this inspiration and innovation abounding, the best nugget of advice I heard between these two powerhouse meetings of the best global leaders and thinkers actually had to do with nurturing our spiritual selves. Talking about “Spirituality & the Digital Age,” at the Social Good Summit, Deepak Chopra shared that the essence of “. . .human creativity is spiritual.” So in nurturing your spiritual self, you’re actually nurturing the parts of your brain responsible for all that innovative thinking and problem solving.
