I built CKD with ZERO connections in the industry, I was extremely naive - probably still am, I had no money and very little knowledge of the product I wanted to create. But I had an idea, a vision - a vision that very little people understood or believed in. From day one my intuition has never failed me. Ever. I found a hole in the market and moved forward with no fear. I believed in magic. I believed that there were no coincidences. I would see everyone who crossed my path as a teacher, learning big or small lessons that would help me on my path. And they did. Something changed when I moved back from New York. That magic & that wonder - it faded. I sit back now and think, why? I had mastered the concept of manifesting, vision board-ing and thinking positive. Over the past four years things have started to fall into place for CKD, greater opportunities have presented themselves, opportunities that I used to dream about.
What is magic & wonder? What do they even mean? I used to believe they were this far away enchanted world that mirrored something like the Secret Garden. It was external. Separate. And if I kept moving my feet one foot in front of the other I would one day find the key. I have learned something very valuable recently that I feel I needed to share. This magic, it’s very real. But it’s not external, it lives inside of me as me. The magic is my imagination, my intuition, my higher self, my love for myself, God, my knowing, energy, vibration. Building an authentic business will require all of you, your business mind and The Magic inside of you. I’ve learned how important it is to align the two. I’ve been paving my own path - a pathless path - and I’ve learned the only way forward is to get lost. I believe there is no light without darkness and the darkness is often filled with tricksters on this pathless path, dark in the disguise of light. Encountering darkness is so important to the inner workings of learning more about who you are, for me it was learning more about my humanness - and seeing myself in a light I have never seen before. These tricksters are there to serve you, mirroring the parts of you that are trying to show you something. Little lessons that will guide you to the next evolution of yourself. Learning more about the self will do more wonder than a vision board could ever do for you.
The objective of getting lost is to not be “found”, it’s to understand that you have always been “found” within, as yourself. I am my anchor. All the little clues along the way, light or dark are designed perfectly for you. They are designed to build your confidence in the Magic & Wonder of who you are. Not some far away Secret Garden. Gaining the confidence to accept all the sides of yourself & then loving them will give your inner magic power, wake it up and ignite it.
Trust yourself. Sit with yourself. Take your power back and get lost. x C
