THE DESIGNED LIFE 1

My first intentional contact with this phrase was during a 6-week intensive mentorship program I took part in last year.

Of course, the phrase is not novel to me. Quite right, the words "designed" and "life" are not Japanese, meaning you could have hindsight into where this whole talk is headed.

Nevertheless, there is a weight that the combination of these words pulls when defined correctly. Yes, "DEFINITIONS" is another powerful tool that will be discussed later.

Back to The Designed Life. I painted a scenario here . Emotionally intelligent. Smart. Witty et al., I know you must have said, "Okay... I'm all ears; tell me more."

The Designed Life is possible. Yes, it is.

PICTURES

Graphical Representations. Connecting the blind dots visibly. Laying the strokes side-by-side. Stringing thoughts to weighty forms.

Picture creation is one of the most powerful skills in the world. Photography is an embodiment of wonders. A photographer with a deep insight into all that living a designed life entails (oh my) would find an inexpressible connection with his works, which would be too expressive to people to be hidden.

To live a designed life, a well-rounded life, you must come to terms with the fact that such a life is feasible. This must sink in well enough. However you feel you can talk yourself into believing this, it is expedient that you do.

A designed life is no mirage.

"Seeing is believing" or "Believing is seeing"? If you are of the "Seeing is believing" school of thought, you must pause here. Do you mean you wait to see physical results always before you believe? Like, you take chill pills while waiting for outcomes before acting out? If you remain this way, I am sorry to burst these bubbles; your chances of doing Great Work in a lifetime are relatively slim.

How do you think inventions come into place? The cell phone was nurtured as a thought (Belief) before it was later designed physically; that's Seeing.

"Believing is Seeing!"

Your first call of duty is to believe that this lifestyle is possible. Convince yourself that it is. Tell yourself that it is.

When you do this, the distorted images you've had in the past about certain aspects of life will begin to crumble gradually. Many times, the crumbling processes are always tranquil era; it would seem like nothing is happening to you, but a lot is going on within you.

With your mind renewed to see the world and spaces around you in a new light, your pictures would begin to change also.

With a Renewed Mindset. Change of Pictorial Representations. We can now dive deep into The Designed Life proper.

Jesudamilare Adesegun-David anchored the Designed Life program I mentioned earlier. JD has written profoundly around this subject matter. You should check out his page on LinkedIn.
