Mind Over Matter
What do industrial designers and psychics have in common?
If you said they both can see into the future, then you are learning quickly young grasshopper. However, there is one major difference that will make any average psychic a bit jealous of a designer.
Just like the fortune tellers, designers must forecast into the future to see how there products will solve problems and how people will react to their creations. But by creating a mental scene of a future product and focusing on the scene, designers have the powerful ability to manifest the creation of a product.
The manifestation of a product must overcome a few hurdles to get to its creation, such as the availability of physical, mental, and monetary resources. Some people have more access to resources, which give them an easier opportunity to manifest their ideas, but a lack of resources can also be a spark for even more innovative creativity.
So take that great idea you have and focus on it, visualize it as clear as possible, try to picture it in a different environment, with different people, with a different texture/color/material. Now, keep this picture in your mind while you make the necessary steps for its fruition, jumping the hurdles that may arise. When you have taken the time and effort to develop your idea, you too will realize your ability of manifestation. -DH
