For most struggling entrepreneurs, dreamers, students and 9-5’ers, life can often become a repetitive series of 24-hour cries for sanity and relief.  Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and your entire existence turns into a gradual walk down a meaningless road of defeat.

A new craze sweeping the innovation nation is the “DIY” (Do It Yourself) movement. I believe this was formulated from the notion that we are more skilled, creative and able than we give ourselves credit.  Or alternatively, we are more lazy, unmotivated and reliant than we would like to admit.

I’ve been Christina, Chrissy, Chris, Sturdi and C. Sturdi. I’ve tried to identify my identity, being last of three with two males before me. I was a tomboy.  Now, I’m just undefined.  I wear sneakers to work and flats on dates.  I wear dresses and heels when I’m feeling pretty and hoodies when I’m feeling beautiful. I am comfortable.

So I went to a meeting the other day in my usual go-to outfit: jeans, a T-shirt, cardigan and flats.  I found out later that I might not have been taken seriously, due to my laid back appearance.  I was meeting with a young professionalso that wasn’t too surprising. Just joshin’.

So, I am currently in the process of working on about five different business ventures.  And sadly, I’m not the type of person who keeps it cool and thrives under high-pressured situations.  Sure, I can adapt and excel, but these are not my ideal circumstances.

I am a Dreamer. 

Nice statement right? It makes me sound a little ambitious and confident perhaps? It makes it seem as though I have goals in life and--though I have not stated them--one might assume that I have plans to achieve them.

Oh, to live in a world where you no longer have to keep track of when Friday is approaching because Monday - Thursday are just as rewarding. Your work week feels like the weekend and your weekends feel like vacations.  Even if you’re working around the clock, you don’t even recognize it because you’re doing what you love.

Ideally, this is the feeling that most entrepreneurs have when they’ve created a successful business. So why aren’t all young creatives jumping the 9-5 ship, diving into their dreams and starting their own businesses?

According to dictionary.com, a signature is a person's name, or a mark representing it, as signed personally or by a deputy, as in subscribing a letter or other document.

Hopefully, many of my fellow Skillologists will be John Hancockin’ a lot of important legal documents, contracts and checks in the near future. But until then, many of us are marking our signatures for potential deals even if we don’t realize it.

What do you really want?

Is it so far-fetched that we may consciously step into the future choosing to have what we really want, right now?

I am challenging myself with an important question as it pertains to life and business goals in general, and I challenge you to do the same.

I'm asking myself first and foremost, "What can't I see that I ought to see?"

I feel that, as a daily practice, we must call forth 1) clearer vision and 2) the possibilities of increased abundance.
