I'm a flake.
I'm an ADHD scattered mind of a girl.
I spent years trying to fight it.
Took courses....
Bought books....
Tried to get up at 5 am.
Tried to make schedules and plans and set goals.
But I'm a flake.
And you know what?
I'm damn proud of it.
Cause inside of all the chaos in my mind sat a gift.
Heck....
My mentor always said
"Your Mess Is Your Message"
And my mess is the very thing that allows me to do the thing I do better than most anyone I know...
<Hubris? Perhaps...>
But my gift is with words and patterns.
Human patterns.
I see them all around me.
And then I turn them into words that move people.
And when people are moved their greatness opens up.
And some of the people who glimpse their greatness come to realize it in ways they never imagined.
I GET TO HELP THEM THAT WAY....SO COOL.
I LOVE that I have this gift.
It has made me a fine living and set me free.
But the cost of that gift is being a flake.
One who struggles to make sequential courses like the other pros do.
One who grows bored easily which can look like I'm not following through.
But in reality I Have followed through more than most will ever dream of.
I have become a master of my craft.
And can pull words that influence out of my butt on demand.
On a screen, on paper, on a stage....
But ya...
I'm a flake.
And for the first time in my life I am not going to try to fight it anymore.
Because trying to be something I am not was killing me.
I am not like the other kids.
I am just ME.
And me is just fine.
How bout you?
Are you swimming up stream trying to become something you're not?
And then beating yourself up for not being that thing when the very thing
you are is MAGNIFICENT?
Take my advice...
Don't do that for 21 years like I did.
It's a rough road.
And I made a whole lot of money while doing it but I beat myself down along the way.
Constant internal battle between the GREATNESS I knew I had and the model
that they marketplace SEEMED to want.
But all that is changing now.
I see it all around me.
And if there were ever a time to lift your head up and look around...
It's NOW.
No matter who you are there's a market for you.
Right in front of you...
WAITING FOR YOU TO SHOW UP.
In the mean time...
I will be here banging away at my computer CREATING.
Have you noticed that's what they call it now?
Before all the talk was of INFLUENCERS...
Now it's CREATORS.
There's a reason.
More on that SOON <3
Later....
Signed,
Your Creator Friend,
Diane
