"To you is granted the power of degrading yourself into the lower forms of life, the beasts, and to you is granted the power, contained in your intellect and judgment, to be reborn into the higher forms, the divine."  m- Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, was an Italian Renaissance Neoplatonist philosopher, scholar, and humanist whose aim was to conciliate religion and philosophy in 'Oratio de hominis dignitate'

It can often times feel like you are playing a very small part in a VERY large production. You may think to yourself, what is this all adding up to? Who will remember my actions? What real impact am I having?

The answers to these questions are not what many people usually think of themselves as: visionaries. You  have the power to create a vision unlike any other and then to act on it in a way that no one else can. When you realize your potential for life, you will see just how close to the different forms of "the divine" you become. 

Whether coming closer to the "divine" means understanding your place in life better, figuring out how to understand others more compassionately or having the fire in your soul lit so strongly you are moved to action -- nothing but good things will come into your life when you realize that a great power has been given to you. 

Airbnb released a new branding today. It was a major change—from logo, to web, to mobile app. The upside down heart-shape logo represents sharing and belonging. By releasing this new logo, Airbnb is changing its focus to a lifestyle brand, rather than a website where you can look up shared housing.

Flat. The new logo is flat and simple, comparing to the old scripted “airbnb” logo with dropshadow. Flat is still the trend and is a style that will last. There are comment online saying the logo is somewhat “obscene”, but personally I think it’s more like a heart-shape paper clip.

Warmth. While the old blue and white logo is colder and more techy, the pink color in the new logo is warm and sweet, which reminds me of home and comfort.
