In the game of life there is a underdog. It’s a person/team who is competing against someone or something bigger than they are. People like an underdog because of the big vs. small sort of thing that is a classic story. You can’t help but to cheer for the people who against all odds are trying to make history and to win the day. On any given day an underdog can win, they can also lose. With some luck and skill an underdog can be the champion.

Daily Prompt: Identity
Ones identity is an outward and inward expression of who they are. Everything from race, gender, occupation, orientation, religion, family, community and education make us who we are in many ways. Our identity can come from people and things that influence us. How we live and work can be a part of telling someone who we are. Sometimes our identity can be a trademark and sometimes it can be a liability. Our connections can identify who we are. Next time you take a look at your ID you can get a snapshot of who you are and where you come from. The most important thing is to be yourself as your primary identity.
Daily Prompt: Express
This word “Express” in my mind has two meanings I would like to explore quickly.
- I need to have something in my life very quickly so I am going to order it and have express shipping to get it here. Although it will cost me extra it’s so worth it.
- There is something I need to say and I am going to express how I feel about this, that and the other thing.
So as you see there are different ways of looking at the same word that can have different meanings. One is speed in receiving something and the other is sharing your thoughts. So if you look at the world we live in we are seeking fast ways of sharing what we think and hopefully they will buy into it.
Daily Prompt: Popular
In school and pretty much through life I have never been popular. It’s something that hasn’t bothered me except I do like being included in things or thought of. Personally I don’t think I could handle being the “IT” person or the guy everyone raves about. Something about being popular is similar to narcissism or something like that. Popularity has its good points but it can also be a curse. Being well known isn’t all its cracked up to be if you see how some folks live with their own fame.
Were/are you popular in your circle of friends or community?
Daily Prompt: Sting
A bee sting can be painful or any sort of bad news. A sting can come and go quickly but sometimes there is some lasting after effect that changes you. In life you have the sweet victory but other times there is a stinging loss. How we react to both situations reveals who we are in a way.
Daily Prompt: Meddle
There is a difference between heavy metal and heavy meddle. One is music and the other is someone who gets in your business and other affairs. No one likes to be meddled with whether it be family or friends. The right to do what you like is something people take seriously. I remember the cartoon Scooby Doo where the teen detectives meddle in the business of the guy trying to scare people off. Perhaps its best not to meddle in other people’s stuff because it could come back to bite you.
