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.
The Thing About Saints
No saint is a true saint in every sense of the word. First of all every saint is a human being who isn’t perfect, makes mistakes and does bad things from time to time. Perfection is impossible. Looking for the good in people is difficult in a world full of cynics and people looking for those gotcha moments to tear people down. I believe there is saint-like characteristics in most people, maybe we would be better if we encouraged people to exhibit those traits more often. A person is known by their spirit and the fruit they bear. Kindness and love can make people strive to be Saints despite their imperfections.
Daily Prompt: Vice
Vice is defined as a moral depravity or corruption. It’s a flaw or weakness. Some people have their vices they struggle with and some things they embrace. A vice is also a thing that holds something in place using a heavy clamp as seen above. Then there is having your head in that same vice which always hurts, figuratively speaking. You don’t want to be busted by the vice squad of a police department. Being a Vice President is a pretty cool job. So as you see the word vice has many meanings. I think people who are left to their own devices can get into trouble or do amazing things. What’s your vice?
