Kaleidoscope Of Possibilities

We have the potential, each, to create the possibilities of change. From the darkness of yesterday comes the light of tomorrow if we so choose, if we keep moving, editing and asking questions. From the spiral down, comes the spiral up.

“We are in the middle of so much challenge, much uncertainty and even pain, what is in our control is the parameter for change and solace.”

How we choose to work and live is paramount. What we bring to each arena, each table can spin the spiral up or further down. We don’t have control over everything, sometimes knowing this can make a big difference, simplifying the tasks before us, where we work, our homes and the future. We are in the middle of so much challenge, much uncertainty and even pain, what is in our control is the parameter for change and solace.

“To live within the potential of beauty and possibility vacillates the future possible, giving rise to our potential and those around us.” 

To be better is to live better, acknowledging our perfectly imperfect selves and the lives we wish to create. To surround oneself with beauty and all that inspires speaks to personal control and possibility, shining a light on the depths of who we are and all that we offer. To live within the potential of beauty and possibility vacillates the future possible, giving rise to our potential and those around us. 

Essentially, what we bring to our lives is multifaceted, be it beauty, insight or knowledge: possibility in a kaleidoscope of colors. 

“There are thousands of people out there with the same degree you have; when you get a job, there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living. But you are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. Your particular life. Your entire life. Not just your life at a desk, or your life on the bus, or in the car, or at the computer. Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your heart. Not just your bank account, but your soul.

People don’t talk about the soul very much anymore. It’s so much easier to write a résumé than to craft a spirit. But a résumé is cold comfort on a winter night, or when you’re sad, or broke, or lonely, or when you’ve gotten back the chest X ray and it doesn’t look so good, or when the doctor writes “prognosis, poor.”

… You cannot be really first-rate at your work if your work is all you are.”
