Minor Designer Mindset Shift

It’s so strange to think of myself as a designer and yet life’s brought me to this undeniable reality. It feels like right … Feels like the path I’ve been gaining momentum towards, for a while, yet havent embraced for fear of rejection. Not seeing myself in that capacity caused me to not see or consider the title, but slowly, life’s been showing me how to embody that ideal, bit by bit. Just because I’m not like any designer I’ve ever seen, doesn’t mean I can't call myself a designer, or that I have to conform to a model of how others have worn the mantle. In fact, for me it means the opposite. I am a designer BECAUSE I'm not like everyone else ... and yet, like everyone else, I'm meant to create my reality, and curate my energy to deliver what's in my heart to manifest. I must edge on that which is different and weird - especially to me - so I can go beyond and, see the promised land begotten by a leap of faith. Come what may! Risk be dammned! I must fearlessly release whats in my heart and mind knowing everyone won’t like it or understand and yet the world will certainly need it. I know what it is to need what you don’t want and want what you don’t need, so let me be the first to say get used to discomfort. Get used to processing what’s in front of you, and allowing it to kindly suspend your disbelief and transform the illusion of confusion into authenticity and truth.

Right now, there is a need for strange and disruptive yet progressive and elevated conversation and creation. There is an organic movement towards light that will expose our apprehension in pursuit of that light. That apparent apprehension will point out areas of unworthiness we've let plague and grip our minds for so long. We are then asked, not to uproot ourselves and start over, but to stretch our roots further into the dis-ease of self hate, and simply observe. One of the laws of the universe is that simple observance of a thing will fundamentally change that thing. Imagine observing your inner child with your heart already open, as opposed to nervous and judgemental. Imagine observing a tense or bitter moment, only this time from a place of love. Imagine coming to terms with a past 'mistake' and you've already forgiven yourself for all the actions you took when you were in survival mode. Acceptance over expectance is the cheat code to embracing authenticity and its only light that can reveal all that there is to embrace about ourselves. You can much more easily take heed of lessons and wisdom you'll need for your new now, which is the present moment. You can leave fear, go beyond the 'seeds of doubt forest' life caused you to cultivate, and transform under the enchantment (or enhancement) of ever present possibilities. Glorious variety surrounds us, and in chosing the least resistant option, or the way, we are freeing ourselves to create a wanted reality.

I am inspired and challenged by these words as they're ancient. I'm humbled because I'm finding them within much easier than when I first embarked on my self love journey. I can confidetly embark on my quest knowing its lifelong and that there isn't a finish line in this life, and so I can take heart in all i experience here. Hope this helps you find peace in the unknowing. Its high time to get Weird!
