Transformation means change, to be made into something new. When you evolve and grow than transformation is inevitable. Being transformed means allowing yourself to become something better or different from what was before. The butterfly goes from a larvae into something beautiful. It is important to know that transitioning from one thing to another is a painful process sometimes but it can be worth it in the end. Change means leaving things behind in hopes for better things ahead.

Daily Prompt: Clumsy
Being clumsy can come about from doing too many things at one time. It also means that we could be distracted about something. Whether it be spilled coffee, dropping a dish or tripping over your shoelaces being clumsy comes from being human. Everyone has their moments when clumsiness takes over.
Daily Prompt: Original
Being an original is so hard when so many want to be copy cats. Doing something new, innovative and exciting takes a lot of hard work. I think of people who were brave to create things that made the world a better place.
WordPress.com as a social blogging platform is full of original and creative people doing interesting things. Being original means standing out from the rest. It’s encouraging when original people empower others to be original themselves.
On a personal level being original means marching to the beat of your own drummer. It is sad when originality and individuality are met with criticism. Always be you, always be original.
Daily Prompt: Dilemma
A dilemma is a situation we find ourselves in when we have a choice to make. It could be as important as your career and how to handle a family situation or as benign as what to order from the menu. It’s also when we find ourselves trapped by life’s circumstances. It is like being between a rock and a hard place or perhaps being stuck in a situation you can’t find escape from. Every one of us has been in a dilemma of one sort or another. What we do in that place says something about who we are.
Discover Challenge: Superhero
Superheroes are a huge part of the pop culture because they help us to aspire to do greater things. We all have in our minds what a superhero is to look like and to do. They are to leap tall buildings in a single bound or perhaps sweep in to save the day. Some of them use mutant powers to make things equal for everyone.
We know the names from Marvel and DC universes but the heroes I wanna talk about don’t wear capes. People who get up in the morning to do a days work are heroes. First-responders are great heroes who go into danger to save lives, fight fires, give breath back into people whose lives are slipping away. Teachers who prepare students for the world of tomorrow are heroic. A person who wears the uniform of their country to defend it are heroes. People who give their time, talent and treasure. Blood donors who give to save 3 lives. Parents and families are heroes who do their part to contribute to community and civilization. Some heroes stand up to fight for the rights of everyone.
Superheroes come in all shapes, sizes, races, orientation and gender. My heroes have been my spouse, parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles and friends. Everyone has the chance to be a super hero if they make the choice to do so.
Discover Challenge: Open-Minded
We all have our own views and ways of doing things. Keeping an open mind is sometimes difficult especially when you find comfort in the old ways. For me keeping an open mind has given me opportunities to find out more about myself. There are situations where opening my ears, mind and heart has provided me a new way of life and has led me to places and people I would have never imagined. As you grow older you find yourself in situations where you wanna keep the status quo but that isn’t what life is really supposed to be about. Trying new things can expand your thinking and leads you to new places and spaces.
