Ch. #122--Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of: Power of Words…GOALS/DREAMS

 

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.

 

Now check out what my amazing design team came up with to inspire you. Pat is joining us this month for the start. 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 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.
