ORIGINALITY

by

WE ARE ALL CREATIVE AND GIFTED WITH ORIGINALITY.  THERE IS ONLY ONE “YOU” IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD.  I Find it fascinating that we are all different, original and unique. Your  originality is seen sometimes visual.  You look different than everyone else.  You are special and unique.  I am going to take this one step further.  Who we are is divided into three parts.  Our soul, mind and body.  Each of these qualities are original.  We all have periods in life when our originality needs to shine, and it feels as if it doesn’t. 

We don’t realize we will stand out from others not by coloring our hair pink, or dressing with clothing that stands out or piercing our tongue.  We stand out when we allow our soul to shine.  We stand out where it counts.  We speak our opinion expressing our voice.  This in and of itself is originality within yourself.  If you want to dye your hair pink, or  get piercings, or tattoos go for it.  My point in bringing it up is we do not need these things to be original.  We are born original.  If you decide to get a piercing, dye your hair green, do it because you like it! 

This is a reason to definitely go for those options “if it is simply because you like it”.  If you do something to change who you are even if it is to better yourself, building on your own foundation, that is awesome.  Never compromise your originality to be someone else’s idea of who you should be or change yourself for others.  We lose some of our originality when we try to “fit in”. Your originality is the one thing that is who you are and yours alone.  I see us making decisions to be or do someone that we are not, making decisions that  make ourselves stand out.  Let us take a peak at the meaning of originality in our Webster Dictionary and the daily wisdom word definition. 

Webster Definition of originality-1.  The ability to think independently and creatively. 

Daily Wisdom Word Definition-1.  the core of our being or soul.  

This is not why you should be doing whatever it is you feel will make you fit in with a friend, a boyfriend, or a whole circle of friends.  Real self-confidence is found in originality that is internal and this originates from your core.  It shows in your personality, your actions, and who you are.  Don’t give your originality up for anyone.  Do not change for others to “make things work”.  Inside we need to remember we are special in and of ourselves and to change this for someone else is simply not worth the sacrifice we would be making with our originality.  If you are working on behavior “together” looking for a middle ground, this is not compromising your originality.  It is your inner strength and heart wanting to compromise to make a relationship work because it is worth it and is done with your partner who modifies some things for you as well.   Thanks so much for reading about “originality” today.  I hope something in this writing touches you in some way.  If it does, please share beneath this post and “join the discussion”.

COLOR

by

Our Daily Wisdom Word today is COLOR.  Color is what makes our world go from bleak to happy.  Even a rainbow after heavy rain with various colors can change our mood.  What is the history of color and how do colors get their names?  Colors have been around for over 40,000 years and were/are made with pigment.  the first colors to be developed were discovered. by Sir Isaac Newton.  He stared at white light, noticing it gave off a variety of colors. He mapped these colors into an octave schema ads the first color wheel and the original ROY  G. BIV.  His experimentation also led to discovering primary colors could be mixed into secondary colors.  Years later, Johanne Wolfgang von Goeth went as far as disagreeing with some of Newton’s original theories.  Although she disagreed, overall the two ideas of color were strikingly similar.  

Von Goethe took the idea of color and associated it with emotions and feelings we get when we look at a specific color.  New colors were discovered or made, based on mixing the pigments in different proportions.  Before going any further, let us take a look at the Webster Definition of our daily wisdom word, color.

Webster definition of color-1.  the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects light.  2.  One, or any mixture of the constituents into which light can be separated in a spectrum or rainbow, sometimes including black and white.

Daily Wisdom Word definition of color-Hues of light in different amounts that give our world excitement, hue, and exultation such as seeing a rainbow.

Colors are the dynamic of the world and help us from becoming depressed, enhance creativity and the arts such as painting or watercolors or crayons and again, the colors we see in a rainbow.  Why is it when the skies are blue, do we feel automatically in a better mood?  Is it the melatonin and vitamin D from the yellow sun or that the weather will be beautiful and conducive for outside activity?  There are many aspects of color and how each one affects reactions from the brain, we still do not understand today. One strong feeling I have is the world would be a dull place without color, and so would some of our moods.

Perspectives

by

How does our perspective change our outlook on life?  Before we go any further with perspectives, let us take a look at the definition of perspectives.

Perfection-1.  A particular attitude toward or way of regarding something;  A point of view.  True understanding of the relative importance of things;  a sense of proportion.     

Daily Word Definition of  perspectives-1.  The way we look at things at any given point in an event,reflective of our moods and any biased feelings.  

Depending on how were feeling, our reflection of  a given situation can either appear positive or negative. I have had days where something has happened, setting off the day in a negative connotation, and my viewpoint for that day, becomes slanted .  Another event will take place later on in the day, and my viewpoint being shifted, will change.  Perspective is everything.  It can make or break our day, and we need to realize that along with the negative event, the way we looked at everything for the remainder of the day has changed, if we allow it to.

When I write something for daily wisdom words, my ultimate goal is to leave you with additional insight about anything, and after reading this, your “perspective may shift” due to your mind being shifted in a new direction because of the additional knowledge you’ve gained. 

This makes it more important than ever, for us to stay grounded in how we think, unless there is value in the new information we receive gained us growth in some capacity.  In that case, we should allow our perspective to shift.  It becomes beneficial to us and leads us to a higher level of knowledge and growth.  

Perspectives is one of the most powerful daily wisdom words I will ever write on, so if your not seeing the value in this already, on this wisdom word, you should stop and ask questions about this.  

Perspectives can be shifted and changed as I have already written be external situations, but can you change your own perspective on things if it is negative and not productive for you in your own life? 

The answer is yes.  If perspective is as powerful as I am implying this is very important that you think of perspective as your friend.  You can change it if your not happy with the role its playing in your life, and here is how!  First, You can do affirmations by writing and visualizing specifically an outcome where your seeing a situation in a whole new light.  Second, You can write a specific outcome of what your feelings will be like if you change the area of life your reflecting from a different angle.  This doesn’t happen overnight and it isn’t easy to change, but can be changed with practice over time.

Perspective is one of the most powerful daily wisdom words I have written on so don’t hesitate if you do have questions to ask and here is how:  When your finished reading, scroll down beneath this post, and leave a comment in the box where it says, “join the discussion”  and type in your question, and I will be happy to get back with you as soon as I get your question. 

Thanks so much for reading and have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!!.
