~:[CH9 - Day 357]:~ Our Path

I created a piece called Our Path, using images from a few photographers. The entire time, I was thinking how similar this image I was creating to our path in life. We head down a path not knowing where we will end up. A turn will bring us to a number of places and when we arrive there, we have to figure out how we adapt to that environment. While it may be easy to complain about where you ended up, our ability to make that environment our own is the key towards thriving. Some continue to allow their environment to restrict them rather than inventing a reality that will get them to where they want to go. As I talked about before, it may have been easy for us to throw our hands up and cancel our plans for conferences last spring, instead, we innovated and held multiple simulations online and have since attend four conferences this school year and have five more coming up in just the next two months. Similarly around me, I've seen people become creative with how they work and operate, adapting and learning, growing and thriving. Sure, I know it's not the same for everyone and we can't all adapt, but instead of just sitting there and giving up or complaining behind a keyboard, I hope we can all find something in the world in which we live for now and make the most of it. In life, we will always face these difficult paths and probably not more challenging that what we are facing as a whole, however, our failure cannot be blamed solely on the environment in which we are in. Let's do what we can as we head forward and hopefully, no matter where we end up, we discover something beautiful on our path ahead. I am excited for when you share that good news with me, but for now, let's all search a bit harder and find what more we can do to make where we ended up a much brighter and more beautiful place.
