I'm weird. More I live the more I recognize that what matters to me, and what mattered SO MUCH to me since earliest memory, has been "out of step" with almost... everyone.
But NOT everyone.
Weird finds Weird. And that is wonderful. Freeing, even.
When I was in college, I was the only weirdo with a personal computer in my dorm room and a cell phone installed in my car. I programmed lines of code while classmates mainlined beer (and coke-aine). Yeah, I was treated like the wyrd one and even got my own apartment before the 1st year was finished to have food that wouldn't kill me and silence enough to think on a Thursday night.
What I believe is intriguing is that people who are weird in the way they express themselves and metabolize life experiences... co-create super interesting Possibilities. Art. Apps. Offerings. Experiences.
Such Beings? AI cannot replace THEM. AI can enhance their toolset, letting the weird stories be turned into co-crafted songs or astounding movies just their buddies get to see and sing. Weird, isn't it?
My clients have such wonders in them. How they navigate the world — including the mundane and scary parts. Weird Wonders. Perceptions about situations that when you hear them you go, "Oh yeah!" in your gut. Their questions (also called Prompts to Intelligence) are so intriguing. In the exploration of them, we're moved more and more towards our own clarity, our own thriving vision, our unique gifts (aka weirdness).
So like I said last time, if you’ve always felt a little out of place, too sensitive, too intense, too imaginative, too anything—that weirdness? That’s your edge now.
But edges take skill to navigate. Emotional resilience helps tremendously. Also having a healthy dose of, "Uhh, I don't really care if you, You, and YOU like it or not. I didn't make it for you! I made it for me and my fellow Weird Freedom Kin."
How about we explore this together? Cathy and I hope you'll choose to join us... Everyone gets the recording who signs up.
