Denver, CO. Sunday, August 11, 2019. ON BUILDING CO FASHION WEEK... In early 2009, I set out to create "...an economically sustainable & a well respected Fashion Industry..." for my new home State of Colorado. I'll spend 2009 through 2011 researching & developing my vision. I invested my valuable time organizing town hall meetings designed to bring key industry organizations & players together.  Due to fear and an attitude of #wrongMINDSET, I received a lot of push back from most of the local fashion groups including the then founder(s) of Denver Design Incubator & president of FGI Denver: their collective argument was that they had plans for their own future #FashionWeek in Denver. POOR MINDSET, Weak Mind.... I was so baffled by their ignorance & blatant short-sightedness: I wondered why we could all not come together to build a one unified, & much stronger, event for the Mile High City. To add to my shock, the then executive director of the Denver Design Incubator & her Founder--a privileged fellow from the Boulder area, literally, wrote me a letter pleading their case as to why I musn't move forward. Talk about small-mindedness. ELEVATING COLORADO'S FASHION INDUSTRY PRESENCE... I was, after all, creating CO FASHION WEEK to put the majestic #CentennialState on the global fashion calendar map, & so what on earth was their problem, I wondered. A DELIBERATE SPARK FOR COMPETITION... I'm obsessed with #Entreprenuership because I fervently believe that it is the most effective way to create very meaningful #wealth. Even better, #Entrepreneurship sparks innovation & innovation fuels #competition--which is guaranteed in order for any business economy to thrive. I TURNED MY REJECTIONS INTO FUEL... Countless meetings with Denver's Office Economic Development got cancelled with one weak excuse after the other. Not deterred, I pressed on & managed to sell my vision to a collective group of individuals & a handful bought into it & off we went. The OFFICIAL LAUNCH IN 2011... After 2 years of brutal rejections, I felt emotionally ready to unveil the vision. Today, my very doubters take the credit without shame. ..And it just cracks me up! -  justic https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CLcrjJ9QA/?igshid=pr2odjgpiu91

ON MASTERING A GRIT MINDSET... in order to build a grit #mindset, you must make a contract with yourself to, completely, resist any form of complaining and #blaming, whatsoever. instead... accept full and absolute #responsibility for wherever you are in (your) life. then seek to, first and foremost, understand the exact #causes that led to the current situation you find yourself in. for it is only by understanding the cause(s) can you move to, meaningfully, correct the current wrongs that led to your current situation. lastly... you must shift your #wrongMindset to that of a #rightMindset, if you care to, truly, transform your life. by... - justice kwesi kwarteng, mfa. founder... - @iamprojectgrit - @iamcollagemag - @cofashionweek - @collageimpact - @iamjusticek https://www.instagram.com/p/Bway6dtFMv3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n22668ywmsr3

Never try to live outside of your means. Never. Too often I see people trying to impress followers on social media. Just be yourself. It's easier. Nothing is wrong with wanting to be in a better position but don't be doing all that fake shit for likes or to impress fake people who really don't care about you.  Try to aim for inner peace and stop looking to material things to bring happiness. Making sense? #likesdontequalmoney #likescantpaybills #brokeandfamous #popularity #instafamous #wrongmindset #changeyourmindset #innerpeace #truehappiness

Wrong Mindset #1 : “Terlanjur Basah”

“Saya udah terlalu hina untuk menjadi baik”

“Saya gak pantes berubah atas apa yang saya perbuat”

“Ingin sih berubah menjadi baik, tapi saya terlalu kotor”

“Kalo udah terlanjur begini, mana bisa…”

Kalimat-kalimat seperti diatas ini sering kita dengar. Mungkin sebagian dari kalian punya pemikiran yang serupa seperti di atas ketika seseorang sedang proses merubah diri menjadi lebih baik atau memotivasi agar kalian menjadi lebih baik. Entah apa sebenarnya hal yang menjadi dasar kalian sulit untuk berubah menjadi lebih baik tapi alasan-alasan di atas kerap sekali terdengar. Manusia memang sudah ditakdirkan untuk selalu melakukan kesalahan, kekeliruan, karena manusia bukan makhluk yang sempurna. Tapi sebaik-baiknya manusia adalah yang sadar dan ingin berubah ke arah yang lebih baik. Perubahan sekecil atom lebih baik dari pada tidak sama sekali. Percayalah bahwa perubahan kita yang kecil, sedikit demi sedikit akan menjadi besar. Hal ini sangatlah wajar ketika manusia tidak dapat berubah 180 dalam satu detik. Tetapi manusia dapat berproses dengan keinginan yang kuat dengan membentuk batasan-batasan dalam diri InsyaAllah kita tidak akan berbelok terlalu jauh karena kita telah membentuk jalur kita sendiri. Sejauh manakah kita harus berbuat? Sebesar apakah kita dapat melangkah? Dan percayalah bahwa semakin hari kita akan semakin menjadi orang yang baik. Setiap harinya, kita introspeksi diri manakah hal yang seharusnya kita lakukan dan tidak. Sehingga kita akan semakin mantap dan berjalan lurus.

Sekarang coba pikirkan baik-baik. Allah Azza Wa Jalla Maha Pengampun dan Maha Bijaksana. Seberapa besar kesalahan kita, InsyaAllah diampuni karena Allah Tahu seberapa besar keinginnan kita untuk berubah. Mulai sekarang coba buang jauh jauh istila Terlanjur Basah. Karena apapun yang basah, seberapa basah pun hal itu bisa menjadi kering dengan kehangatan matahari. Saya tanya, adakah orang yang tidak ingin menjadi baik? Kita semua punya kesempatan untuk menjadi orang baik. Kita semua berpotensi untuk menjadi orang baik. Tetapi semua itu bergantung kepada seberapa besar keinginan kita dan seberapa besar kita membuka mata dan pintu hati kita untuk kebaikan yang akan datang kepada kita.

ON MASTERING A GRIT MINDSET... grit is empathy in constant action. grit is not 'hard-ness'. grit is #vulnerability in the here and now. grit is not 'brute-ness'. grit is the vulnerable surrender to every insecurity ever lived. grit is the authentic leaning-in to our biggest fears. grit is the complete overcoming of your most traumatic events from your years past. grit is the moment-to-moment #warrior mindset defeating of the abuses, fears and failures from your past. grit is the #mindful embodiment of love. but what is love? if grit is the #conscious embodiment of love--then what, exactly, is love? for me, love is about the conscious discovery of who GOD created you to, really, become. love has nothing to do with what is outside of you. rather, love is the committed effort and deliberate intention of looking within, as opposed to looking without. grit is compassion incarnate. grit is empathy embodied. grit is love in action. in order to... truthfully, change your life, you must shift your #mindset from a #wrongMindset to that of a #rightMindset. by... - justice kwesi kwarteng, mfa. founder... - @iamprojectgrit - @iamcollagemag - @cofashionweek - @collageimpact - @iamjusticek https://www.instagram.com/p/BwX8g4wFOO5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15e300uipqeim
