Author Jason Jack here with 5 things to share with you this week! Let's begin!
1. On Size Doesn't Fit All (what works for one thing won't work for everything)
It'll do us better--and humble us in some occasions--to remember that every situation is different, every person, place, and artistic expression is not the same, and requires a personal/unique approach to handle each one. Each situation needs to be treated independently for the best results. We can't keep trying to fix everything by stuffing the same rectangle block into different shaped holes.
2. Focus on what you have and not on what you don't
We are in control of our goals. We our in control of our actions. And we all have the same 24 hour day. It'll give us less headaches and stress if we focus on what we do have and what we can accomplish with it than what we don't. It'll also make us more productive (why waste time dwelling over things that don't matter/outside of our control?) Let's pour our energies in the places that need it the most!
3. Share your Dream
No matter what you're trying to achieve, it's going to take more than just you to make it a reality. Whether it's simply customers buying your product or your coworkers, family, and friend's daily support, other people are needed. So, we might as well share our dreams to the ones that truly support us and help lift them upward as we soar. Support them in their endeavors, offer help where you can, and promote them. When one succeeds in his or her dream, we all succeed!
4. MEDIA: Clever Ideas!
I just watched The Purge, a movie about a future America that hosts an annual event one time a year (The Purge) which legalizes and allows every act of crime for one night, 12 hours. It's a truly haunting idea. At least for me, the idea was more powerful than the movie and where I would have gone with it, but it had my creative mind turning.
I also started reading James Finn Garner's Politically Correct Fairy Tell and Bedtime Story series. A great idea about giving "logical" reasons and "politically correct" explanations to events in our beloved children tales. James does a good job at making his PC Fairy Tales flow like the ones of the past and has given me an idea for a similar, unique take on PC Fairy Tales :)
5. Be brave and try new things. You'll surprise yourself when you find something new that you like!
What did you learn or want to share this week? I hope all of you have a nice weekend, stay safe, and enjoy the remaining days of 2013!
Until next week.
