Challenge #107--Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of Celebrate by Sharing Your DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE

 
Hello everyone and welcome to the Path of Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the first Monday of the month and it is time for our last challenge of the year to begin! We hope that you and your families continue to stay healthy and safe out there as you prepare for the various upcoming holidays celebrated in the different regions around the world!
 
Since we are not your typical challenge blog, it is important for you to understand how things work in order to be sure you are eligible to win any of the prizes offered. If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I started it under the 'Introductions' tab and you can find out all the details you need to know in order to participate, in the 'Challenge Details' tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a summary of the most important rules can also be found in the right sidebar under the heading 'General Rules'.
 
Right now, it is time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...
 

Challenge #107

Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of 

Celebrate by Sharing Your Dreams for the Future

For this past year, our goal has been to encourage you all to celebrate the positive around us. As we finish out the year, we thought it would be good time to look ahead. As such, if you would like to participate in the optional twist this month, we want you to design a creation that focuses on Celebrating by Sharing Your DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE.
 
We all have dreams...or at least we should have. Sometimes it feels like we'll never get there, or we find obstacle after obstacle in our way that prevents us from accomplishing them. However, these roadblocks should never interfere with the idea of at least having dreams. When we dream, we set our sights on something much bigger than ourselves. We may not be able to fulfill every dream we have but we can at least try and work towards those dreams in the ways we are able to--making changes and taking actions that bring us closer to fulfilling them. Doing so gives us a sense of accomplishment, even if our dreams don't come true. It is about driving one's self to be the best person we can be because we know that there is so much more out there for us to explore and accomplish, if we are simply willing to put in the effort to get there. The mere act of dreaming can have all sorts of positive impacts on our life. So, start thinking about where your own dreams can take you. You just never know what big changes may happen when you do! 
 
If you want to follow the optional twist this month, spend a little time coming up with, or refining, your vision for a better tomorrow. It is time to share with the world, Your DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE.

Remember, the twist is completely optional and you don't need to follow it in order to win. However, in order to be considered eligible for this month's goodies, remember that general types of projects/posts will not qualify for the honours and prize UNLESS they are also positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature. Additionally, even if a project may qualify as positive, if your post promotes negativity, hatred or anything of an abhorrent nature, your project will be disqualified. Honours and Prize include:

  • $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
  • A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.
 
Now check out what my amazing design team came up with to inspire you. Clicking on each team member's name will take you to their blog where you can check out the details for their inspirational creations.

My wonderful design team continues to outdo themselves time and time again! They each have their own style and clever interpretation of the twist. Even after all this time, I continue to be astounded by the scope of greatness in their work! Each of these artful conceptions has showcased the notion of Celebrating by Sharing Their DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE exceptionally and I hope we have inspired you. Be sure to go and visit each team member so you can see how her project further connects to the twist.

So what are you waiting for? Create a project and/or post that is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature and join our link up. How about stretching yourself by also opting to follow the twist?! While it isn't mandatory, we'd also love to find out how this month's twist affects your own life. I personally have more DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE than I can list here but one is the desire to travel--to Scotland (paternal side of family), France (maternal side of family) and of course Hawaii (seriously, who doesn't dream of going to Hawaii at least once in their lives)! While I don't see how even one of those trips will be possible, given a number of factors in my life, it doesn't stop me from dreaming. A more realistic dream is to open my own online business within the next year. Finding the time to get all the tasks necessary for accomplishing this is daunting but I am not giving up on the idea, and work towards it bit by bit as I am able to. Those are examples of some of my dreams. If you'd like to share what some of your own DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE are, we'd love to hear it. You can write a sentence or two in the body of your post, write a sentence at the bottom of your post next to the link up for this challenge, or simply leave a comment on this post if you'd like. Finally, remember that we're trying to create a Path of Positivity so if you have some time, please visit other people participating throughout the month.

I hope to see you back next week when voting will [hopefully] begin on the Top Picks for Challenge #107. There will be a separate post detailing those picks where you will have the opportunity to vote on the creation or post that you have found to be the most positive, inspirational or encouraging of the chosen picks.

Then, be sure to join us again on December 19th when we'll be back with our midway featuring more great projects.
