Letting Your Inner Leader Out
Hi everyone! Today’s interview is special because it’s not so much an interview and more of a group think :o
After having an amazing session, these thoughts were too good to leave alone in a chatroom! As said so well by one of our participants: “Being able to read everyone's perspectives allows you to really think, and find someone or something that you strongly relate to that perhaps you didn't feel or think about before.”
A very special thanks to @Jenna @Fristo @Juju98 @GoalsforLife @Wonderfulmagic99 and our resident lurker @serenecandy2149
I hope you enjoy some highlights!
What makes our culture unique? How do we protect that?
We have lots of cultures in one.
I think what makes our culture unique is that we have a broad selection of listeners, everyone being different and being able to handle different and unique situations, and also… we do it because we want to. We aren't forced to be listeners or forced to make a difference. That's what makes us stand out. We protect this by continuing to promote positivity, having these check-ins and discussions, building the culture, having so many different guides to learn, roles to lead, etc.
What’s meaningful in your life?
To be able to contribute to the happiness of the world gives me meaning.
I also think that being able to wake up every morning is meaningful. To be healthy, free, and happy, having a roof over my head, having access to meals and nutrition, the small, but big things really.
Where do our best ideas come from? And how can we spawn more creativity?
I think they come from what inspires us the most.
My best ideas come from the best conversations. I randomly start conversing with a peer and wonders start to happen.
To spawn more, giving others the opportunity to create and share, and be able to guide them to think deeper, or look further, and help to expand one's knowledge. ❤️
What is one tip that you have for us to evolve as good human beings?
Engage your mind in spreading smiles, as a daily ritual.
Keeping in mind everyone is dealing with their own problems.
Bad people don't worry about wanting to be better. Keep trying, and you'll be alright. ❤️
We now invite you to join us! We want to hear your thoughts <3

What makes our culture unique? How do we protect that?
The world now is getting harsh and we hear more critzim, stigma, and hurtful things every day. I think 7 Cups provides a very safe space, to breath, think, and talk freely without being scared of judgment. Here people respect others, despite how each one of us comes with different culture and even from different countries.
I think by remaining here for each other, we can protect that.

There are a lot of meaningful things. Being able to make a difference and become a listener is very meaningful to me.

Where do our best ideas come from? And how can we spawn more creativity?
I guess partially from reading, partially from sitting and watching the nature, I have a huge passion for the environment. I guess reading helps me clear my head a gain more creativity.

I think being nice, polite, and kind to others while setting solid boundaries so we don't get hurt, I think this can evolve us as good human beings.
@WarmLightXO
Wonderful post, full of valuable insights!. I have copied some in my quotation notebook.
What makes our culture unique? How do we protect that?
7 Cups is a unique space of uncompromising respect and appreciation for all human beings that belong to and join this Community. And even beyond. We can protect this by both promoting these values, and having zero-tolerance for those expressions, and eventually those persons, that disregard them.
What’s meaningful in your life?
Friendship, starting from the closest and extending to all good persons worldwide.
Where do our best ideas come from? And how can we spawn more creativity?
I think our best ideas come from combining or modifying known ideas in a new way, mostly unconsciously. We can promote creativity by curiosity, by willing continuous exploration and exposure to ideas and creations of others, that catch our attention.
What is one tip that you have for us to evolve as good human beings?
There are many things out of our control, like the values and culture within which we were raised, our experiences in life, etc.
Among the things that we can do ourselves, is to be mindful that we have a limited time in the hugely privileged position of living, conscious beings. Then, reflecting on the values that should guide our life having that in mind. And finally, living in accordance with these values.

Wow, I love reading the highlights of the sessions so much that I forgot to be and at not seeing the real session to peek at. That being said, I laud every single of these beautiful answers and perspectives that I came across in this post. And just like the amazing quoter maker had said, I found ideas that I could both relating as well as refreshing to that of my own.
Now I'd like to give a try at these questions 😁. *puts my thinking cap on*

What makes our culture unique? How do we protect that?
The uniqueness of our culture lies in this beautiful mesh of similarity wading around its diversity. The core values and traditions followed by all the different uncountable cultures carries a rich history, but in all lies something that is eerily similar and relatable no matter how far apart two cultures are amongst each other- Humanity. And I think that it is this humanity that's innately within each and every one of us that has the power and potential to accept everyone around us, and protect the cultures that our ancestors had followed, and our childhood were surrounded with

What’s meaningful in your life?
Helping others, and growing to be a better person, and my actions that leads or results in these is one of the most meaningful things in my life. Pursuing the things that make me happy is another deed that makes life more enriching and meaningful

Where do our best ideas come from? And how can we spawn more creativity?
Are best ideas come from .... *drum rolls*.....our mind ! (I couldn't help it😄). To answer the question, I think our best ideas comes from our surroundings and our experiences, which influences our mind to create ideas, big and small. And to spawn more creativity, we drink from the eternal cup of Creativity, create more experiences, see more of life around us, and see the patters that makes us to connect between two things, and of course, have fun in the process.

What is one tip that you have for us to evolve as good human beings?
The shorter answer is : To be more Human. The quote "Do unto others as you would have them do unto by you, is appropriate here, as its only by being more human that we understand that the person on the other side, is also a human. And knowing that makes things more easier to understand them, and be empathetic of them.
These are my answers :D. Now I'm off to read the rest of yours. *Yeets and poofs to the forum posts *
