Physical Manifestations of thoughts - Designer's path to sanity

When do you stop reasearching about an area? When are we supposed to stop obsessing over an idea? When can I say I have designed something?

one word answer would be it is when one creates. That's a vague answer to be honest. And most people are creative in the workshop that only exist in their minds.

The flow of creative energy is just trapped inside the brains, aching to be let out to the physical world. Manifestations of mind is meant to find a place in the physical world. As a designer, the signpost pointing to sanity is to bring out the physical form of your thoughts.

Words often are the quickest manifestation of thoughts. But its a mistaken form. Words are representation of your thoughts, not yet the true manifested physical form. Most of designers stop at words and wonder why my thoughts or idea feel incomplete.

You may trick your brain into believing the thoughts are formed through words, but you can't trick your consciousness.

The driving force behind that constant ache in a mind about the incomplete thoughts is what makes a designer. Some people call it drive.

The Ideas and thoughts have found you, the designer. As the right channel to come out. Holding on to those thoughts makes you selfish, which makes you a terrible empath. This is the empathy we have been taught all along.

The empathy to care for the people by being the best medium for the thoughts that the world needs.

Thus bringing physical manifestations to ones thoughts is the ultimate design and it's the only creative process.

We are supposed to get our hands dirty, building and rebuilding. It's easy to escape the building phase and loathe in the glory of ones thoughts. We know what that make a human, a terrible empath.

The process is supposed to be liberating, one should feel empty after the creative process. It sounds counter intuitive, design was supposed to be fulfilling not empty.

The fulfillment lies in the world, the physical manifestations of your thoughts. Fulfillment lies in the empathy a designer extendes towards the world. Fulfillment lies in life of a designer.
