Open Thread: What Is Your 3-Layer Dream?

July 21, 2010 By Untemplater 6 Comments

“What’s the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.” – Cobb, Inception

Welcome to the world of Inception, where ideas do alter reality and (thus) change the world. Oh, and no idea is safe.

While not as mind-blowing and gravity-defying as The Matrix, Inception is a genuine thought bender masterfully done. It challenges you to really appreciate the power of ideas and ponder if maybe, just maybe you can dream within dreams.

I don’t want to spoil anything from the movie (seriously, go see it!), but I can’t hold back from sharing the inspiration it gave me.

So, for this week’s Untemplater Open Thread, what is that one idea that has overtaken your mind – your every thought, emotion, and dream? And how do you plan to use it to build greatness, re-architect your life, and change the world forever?

P.S. If I wasn’t clear enough before, go see this movie now!

    The idea of the Yakezie Scholarship. It’s never been done before, and I’m excited to launch the initiative!

    Man, if I wasn’t feeling pressure to see Inception before, I sure am now!

    Over time, I’ve started noticing that the idea of thought liberation (freeing up your thoughts from societal expectations and fulfilling your own path) has haunted my thoughts and dreams. I realized that I wanted to help people break free of their templated paths and discover what kind of life they truly want to lead. I know in my heart that this idea can change lives because it’s already changed mine and many of the people around me. I believe that if everyone pursued their dream life, we could literally change the world. An idea virus that I’m itching to spread.

      Great perspective Lex! Your idea virus is without a doubt one of my favorites. And I can certainly attest for it becoming a powerful itch that you want to scratch!

      I’m glad you’re scratching yours and changing the world!

      Cheers!

    My idea virus is that everyone can build a kick-ass digital personal brand with a long term sustainable business, from everywhere around the world !

    That’s why I came up with the idea of the digital crusader – the person that works online and inspires others along the ride.

    I’m sooo going to see that movie !

      Hey Mars!

      I’d wager to say that everyone here at Untemplater loves your idea virus! That’s what it’s all about 🙂

      And you’ll be thrilled with the flick. One of the very best I’ve seen in a while.

      Cheers!
      Matt
