Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts
Kathleen-613's creation for my blog

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN


Blog City image small

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

David Whyte

For "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's ParadiseOpen in new Window.

Prompt: "Perseverance, commitment, compromise and passion are ingredients you hold close." Use these words in your Blog entry today.

----

At this point in my life, perseverance takes the crown. Compromise is always there. None of us could live another minute without it. As to passion, it depends on ... passion for what?

That sentence quoted in the prompt, however, is a great statement for young adults as their life motto. I think it can guarantee success because it is easy, through the life’s ups and downs, to forget noble goals or even smaller ones since the immediate daily problems can block our will to succeed. Thus, it is a good idea to have a motto or a mantra in the mind to link to our deepest values and to calm and encourage us.

Other than encouraging us forward and inspiring us in our work, a motto or a mantra can replace destructive self-talk or thinking and change any bad habit that works against our well-being.

Some may think this as cliché thinking. Yes, there are many clichés in life, as this one may be; however, they may not be untrue or less usable.

For: "Space BlogOpen in new Window.

Prompt: From Words Whirling 'Round Author IconMail Icon’s "Going OnOpen in new Window..
What do you think? What would we do without this common symbol?


----

If by common symbol, you mean the letter e, I would be totally lost without it. E is the queen of my writing kingdom.

Yes, letters are the symbols of our talking and thinking systems. As far as I know, a symbol has a literal, figurative, and conventional meaning. Can we shoo any one member out of a symbol system like the alphabet? I didn’t think so; however, the poet Words Whirling 'Round Author IconMail Icon has done such a great job in "Going OnOpen in new Window. that it made me wonder if taking away a symbol from its system may be possible, be it for a single moment.
