On a few of my posts I’ve done some logo play with our Badass Backpacks logo. I love the interplay of the two tiles working together — both of equal size, and both playing an equally important role. Together they become something new – an optical illusion that the tile on the left, is larger than the tile on the right. Our brain plays this trick on us… it can truly feel as though the tile on the left IS actually bigger than the tile on the right. Sometimes this works to our detriment — we get caught up in our fear and we nurture that story, following it from one conclusion to the next in our daydreaming minds. Sometimes this works to our benefit — as we might remember that if we can somehow find even the smallest amount of light, and if we can focus on it (for even just a short moment), that light will grow.
…Your emotions become your reality … if you look for the light you can often find it. But if you look for the dark that is all you will ever see … [we] have brought darkness and anger so that is what you see now. But YOU have light and peace inside of you and if you let it out you can change the world around you … many things that seem threatening in the dark become welcoming when we shine a light on them.
