In response to "Sweet Stuff"

King of the world is from Titanic, Houston, we have a problem is from Apollo 13, Show me the money is from Jerry Macquire and Sugar and Spice is the movie title.

You did a great job creating a fun story using the phrases. I would enjoy a gourmet food truck that went house to house but my waistline would object immensely.

In response to "Giving and Getting"

Kåre เลียม Enga

Exactly. Balance and boundaries would do better. Yes, "letting go" is a great idea.

In response to "Giving and Getting"

Two B words come to mind:

balance and boundaries

I'm not great at either.

Another G word to add to giving and getting:

Letting go.

In response to "Understanding One's Own Self and Shadow Work"

I did some work with Roger but eventually found that journaling and doing some shadow work independently I discovered that I didn't see myself as valuable or worthwhile, so I never advocated for myself. I've written a lot of letters to myself rehashing things that I've allowed to happen and what I could do differently so I've learned new habits and better approaches.

In response to "Understanding One's Own Self and Shadow Work"

So very true, I believe that we should have one pointed agenda. This I am trying very hard, to be a subject and all the things that are happening remains object. Though I have faced heavy resistance from within. I have maintained a diary and make a note of all objective things trying to be subjective. So as a witness consciousness I try with inherent effort to continue with all things happening as objective. I am planning to write a book on Self consciousness and a major role Ego and pride plays in our subconscious mind and body.

In response to "Objects Prompt"

I love the imagery, Joy. I only have one thought on the last line.

bathed in your warm hue, my world keeps its silence.

bathed in your warm hue, my world embraces its silence.

I think embraces stays with the intimacy more than keeps it.

Yes, I agree, Joy. I think we need to be vigilant all the time and not just with one group, but all. Well said.

In response to "On Negativity"

Negativity sometimes is a helpful learning tool as well as positivity. Until people feel the results they won't change for the better, unfortunately. I've seen how destructive negativity can be but I've also seen people who have never experienced bad things and in their well meaning positivity are oblivious and make no effort to help the changes needed.

Hope

Prompt: Hope
"The caterpillar feet were gone, the wings unfolded. One should never lose hope,"

Write about this in your Blog entry today.

======

Are challenges ever inevitable? Good for you if you can hide from all the challenges that are thrown your way. I can't do that. What I can do, though, is hold on tight to a lifesaver, which is called hope.

Hope is our greatest and the best ally, no matter the circumstances. It is what makes life meaningful. It is the light that guides us through darkness. It is the strength that propels us forward. Hope is more than a feeling. It is a state of mind and our conscious belief that something good or at least more acceptable could arise from the difficulty at hand.

Why is hope so wonderful, then? It is wonderful and doable because the more I am hopeful, the more resilient I become. Hope inspires me to act and to seek solutions, however with small steps. Then, in doing so, it improves my mental health, and as a result I feel more connected to other people and I become more open to learning from our joint experiences, embracing change, and developing new skills or perspectives.

Have I done all that in the worst of situations? To tell the truth, NO! I always allow myself some grieving time, but during that time, my mind, by my urging or by its own rote and experience, finds some hope somewhere.

This is because hope is a source of inner strength and it keeps dreams alive, no matter how undoable. Better yet, hope lets me remember that I am human and what makes me human is (to me), creativity, empathy, and my capacity to dream of a better world. This way, I feel aligned with with uncertainties where hope helps me with a sense of direction and a belief in a few possible and positive outcomes.

To put it in a nutshell, there's always a way out. Thank you, HOPE!
