 A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: "It's not what the world holds for you. It's what you bring to it. "Write about this in your Blog entry today. ------ I can't help but laugh! If the world is still waiting for me to bring anything to it, well, okay; it can wait all it wants, since I am probably inside the last decade of my life. So...Sorry, world! No dice here! After all, you do not appreciate the real gifts given to you by many nameless scientists, artists, authors, and other do-gooders. Instead, you raise to high heaven, sports players and show people. Now, stink in your own choices! Yet, joking aside, this quote is for real because it is about responsibility and empowerment. I think it is saying that we the people have more power than we think. This power has nothing to with the push to control the world, like some politicians  , but with the ways we can change how we live in it for the better. In other words, we have to work with our one and only precious life, on our own! This may be because the world, really, is indifferent and unpredictable, and it doesn't always deliver the best for most anyone. The only way to change and tame this unreasonable and capricious world is to offer our best self, our efforts, and our vision to it. On the other hand, waiting or working only for the goods --such as happiness, success and recognition--to come to us with little or no effort can make us disappointed and frustrated if and when life doesn't deliver those goodies soon enough. So, wake up and smell the coffee, friends. This world is indifferent! With that indifference in mind, what we bring to it really matters, such as our unique perspective, courage, kindness, ideas, and efforts. Our attributes, actions, and contributions shape not only our own experience here on this planet, but also they can shape the lives of others. This might have to do with bringing empathy and compassion to conflict, hope to despair, and creativity to a boring routine. In short, it means we have more potential and creativity than we think, and the world has nothing to do with our discovery of our own purpose and fulfillment. Our own satisfaction or success is up to us alone, whether the world recognizes it or not. |
