Hello🙏🏼

Last week, I found myself staring at a sunrise 🌄 , wondering not just about what’s ahead but about HOW I could make the day truly meaningful. This simple shift—from ‘what’ to ‘HOW’—has changed everything for me. And it might for you too.

Last week, we also released our new podcast, The Future is HOW. As a subscriber, you get early access to The Future is SPECIAL: an exclusive link to the raw 📼 video recording right here 👇🏽 in the NEXTletter. 🌟 I’d love to hear your thoughts and can’t wait for your feedback! Let’s keep dreaming, thinking, and creating together. 🙌✨

ONE QUESTION TO REFLECT ON

This isn’t a question of prediction—it’s an invitation to create. Every choice we make today shapes the tomorrow we’ll experience. Consider the qualities, habits, and mindstate you want to cultivate to become the version of yourself ready to embrace what’s next.

TWO PERSPECTIVES TO CONSIDER

ONE EXPERIMENT - FOR TODAY, NOT SOME DAY

Reflect on the qualities and habits you want to embody in the future. Ask yourself:

HOW can I start living as that person today? 

Choose one small action—whether it’s adopting a mindstate, practicing a behavior, or changing a habit—that aligns with your vision of your future self.

For example:

• If you envision yourself as more creative, start by setting aside 10 minutes each day to brainstorm new ideas or sketch something that inspires you.

• If you want to be more empathetic, begin by truly listening to someone without offering solutions—just focus on understanding their perspective.

• If your future self is healthier, take one small step today: drink an extra glass of water, go for a short walk, or add a mindful breathing exercise to your routine.

• If you aim to be more curious, commit to asking “Why not?” once a day when faced with a challenge or opportunity.

THIS WEEKS INSPIRATION

It comes from my new podcast, The Future Is HOW. "HOW can you shape your better future? Through stories of those already creating a brighter tomorrow and practical exercises, this podcast empowers you to turn ideas into action and step confidently into what’s next."

Unlike “why,” which anchors us in reflection, or “what,” which defines outcomes, “HOW” focuses on the process—the steps that connect the present to the desired future.

In the first episode, we explore how beauty relates to the future: How can we envision a more beautiful future for ourselves? Beauty isn’t just an aesthetic concept; it’s a perspective that shapes how we see possibility and potential.

By focusing on the beauty we want to create, we can turn aspirations into actions and bring a brighter future within reach.

If you haven’t already, check out The Future Is HOW with one of the links above. The podcast aims to inspire actionable steps toward a more beautiful future.

The future isn’t just ahead; it’s shaped by what we do now. I’m excited to have you join me on this journey of discovery, action, and creation. Together, let’s make what’s next truly beautiful.

Until next time, keep asking HOW.
– With Future Love, Frederik
