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 latest challenge to begin! We hope that you
and your families continue to stay healthy and safe out there. Just a reminder that this will be our last challenge before our summer break.
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 #122
Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of
The Power of Words: GOALS/DREAMS
This year's goal is to look at how WORDS can influence our artistic endeavours. To help inspire you on this journey, each month we will focus on
different quotes. I will provide three to five
quotes to inspire your creative projects. If none provide any
inspiration, you can pick a quote or phrase of your own choosing to
focus on. You can use the quote/phrase/sentiment as
the focus of your creation OR you can embrace an aspect of the quote to
focus
on. As always, following our twists are optional.
If
you do want to follow the optional twist this month, here are the quotes I've chosen for June:
“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not’?” — George Bernard Shaw
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” ― C.S. Lewis
“No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big.” ― Anonymus
“Goals are dreams brought to life.” ― Amy Leigh Mercree
“If you can dream it, you can do it.” ― Walt Disney
As you can see, the
overall theme for June is GOALS/DREAMS.
If you want to follow the optional theme, you can simply use one of the
quotes literally and type it out and add
it to your project. However, you could also create a project with one of
the quotes in
mind. For example, you could create a bullet journal listing your goals for the next quarter. Or, you could create a dream journal for all those ideas you wish to someday bring to fruition. There are lots of
ways you could approach the quotes. And of course, if none of these
inspires you, you can always find your own quote or sentiment expressing
the concept of GOALS/DREAMS.
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.
My wonderful design team continues to astound me each and every month! They each have
their own approach and deft insight of the twist. Even after all this time, I continue
to be astonished by the purview of greatness in their work! Each of these artful conceptions has showcased the
notion of The Power of Words: GOALS/DREAMS admirably and I hope we have
inspired you to commence on your own exploration of creativity. 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. How often do you rely on words to inspire your creative endeavours? This month our quotes all focus on GOALS/DREAMS. Do you spend time working on a goals list? If yes, how often do you update your list? Yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly or more frequently? When it comes to your broader dreams, do you keep track of them in a journal or showcase them artistically? Don't forget, like the quote from CS Lewis says, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream”. So make sure that you make dreaming and goal setting part of your life. 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.
Please join us again next week when we will post the Top Picks for Challenge #121. Then, be sure to join us again on June 17th when we'll be back with our midway featuring more great projects.
