There are a few things you can only do for yourself.
One is to observe.
Stand back and take a good look at whatever is in front of you. Pay attention to detail. Notice the small things that make up the whole image.
Are there layers underneath you don't see? Why would that be important? Because, without a foundation, something may just be imaginary or a dream. It may not last and crumble from sight. One tiny thing holds the others into place.
The next is making a plan.
Plans are ideas of our mind. The collected observations. The categorized accumulation of imagination. They are the seeds of the pod. We nurture our plans over time to bring them to life.
Plans often require intervention. Changes to reflect an inspired outcome. Plans can fold. They can be stored quite some time and yet be brought out, dusted off and rejuvenated. Ah, plans. There are no limits to how many we can have. But only a few make it all the way. You need a library of plans in your life.
The last is discovery. Discovery is finding the way and all those observations and dreams
coming into focus. Realization that no matter what you thought or saw or pieced together could be touched. Handled with care and cherished because it was yours.
Raw materials reinvented into tangible structures that shelter you as you dream of new plans to come.
