Thinking Big: What I Stand For
I was given an early copy of the book, The Think Big Manifesto, by Michael Port. I’m about half way through and it reminds me of two other books that I find myself referencing when I feel a little lost, overwhelmed or anxious about change: The Power of Now and The Four Agreements. All these books have something in common, which is basically… you are in charge of your happiness, satisfaction, career, life and you are your own worst critic.
I’ve arrived at the spot in the book that says to “Stand for something, and make that public”. So here goes:
I stand for a conscious effort to behave in a way that is kind to our planet, and my goal is to use my design expertise to educate people and design tools to achieve actual green living.
There, I said it. Now what?
My hope is to connect with people, organizations and companies that also stand for that. And through these connections I will bring the value of design to help solve the right problems.
