took my mind for a walk

Today I followed through on a thought that occurred to me out of the blue. What would happen if I just followed the guide in my head? What I mean by this specifically is, suppose I erased my hard wireing and decided to say to myself, I shall defy whatever I think limits me?

What would this look like?

For starters, I would stop thinking that I cannot do something because I do not have the money or the opportunity, or the time or the drive.

This got me excited.

I continued to think about it. Allow your thoughts to run along without looking at the usual excuses that keep you back. (However this is not about stating things from a place of dreaming, this is actually allowing paths to open based on this thinking) for example, my first thought was on the idea I recently got for a project but had to stall. I said to myself, start doing those drawings on that new project that you have in mind, and when the money arrives, buy the materials and get the project done.

Act all of the time towards aquiring your goals. A way will be found and/or made.
The attitude is everything. Act from a place of knowing that everything you want to create can and will happen according to the nature of things.

Thinking this way certainly feels better than the alternative.
Sometimes you yourself are the problem because you are only looking at something from one perspective and that perspective is limiting. I think that from now on, when I focus on something, my objective is to then ask, now, show me how to get to the next step, and I am taking it NOW.

New beginnings

I was doing some online research this afternoon regarding my creative idea to start an Art and Design Planning Company. My thoughts on the matter is to align myself with NGO's whom I believe have quite a great deal that they can do to impact the public, yet do not. This idea came home to me acutely when over the course of a month, I heard at least three NGO's on the radio talk about their very important work and the difficulties they experienced. My mind shouted, as I heard their issues. It was so obvious to me that they would be best served by good visual media carrying their messages. Then I had an aha moment.
I see my service as one where NGO's and other companies approach me for degrees of guerilla and other types of marketing of their ideas and concepts. This also includes my other design planning ideas as well, like doing the mall and the airports.
The whole thing sounds very reasonable on paper. My goal now is to see how to bring the idea into reality.
