Note To Self…

Wiwohka

Is it just me, or has this weeks line up of Daily Prompts left us wondering about our value to the world? These prompts probably left many to question if we really did like our jobs, or whether we wished to be someone other than who we currently are. WordPress wrapped up this theme by going as far as to ask us our thoughts about our fate ////// destiny.

I, for one, found myself trying to justify the qualities of what makes me a good person… what have I ever done, of value, that might make me worth something to society. I’m not saying that the prompt questions did this intentionally, but this is how it left me feeling, none the less.

I had to smile to myself this morning, as I picked up the stack of Note To Self cards and came to rest holding the note meant for today…

Note To Self #27

“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” William James

As I am currently practicing the KISS Challenge (Keep it Simple Stupid) that I talked about earlier in the week, the words of Mr. James seemed to fit perfectly into my rolodex of honest encouragements and reminders to myself… as is… with no more explanation necessary! Wouldn’t you agree?

  4. “Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” I love that quote. It absolutely does, too!

    By the way, I’m trying to find your post: ‘is this a trick question’, responding to the autobiography daily prompt, because I only left two words to start my reply before having to log in, and now it just looks like I’ve replied: ‘yeah right’… which is NOT what my reply was meant to be, that was just the opening two words! I need to finish my reply because ‘yeah right’ totally implies the wrong thing! As if I’m disagreeing or being mocking towards your post! Please don’t take ‘yeah right’ as what I was going to say, or what I mean! It sounds so bad! FYI- still going to complete trying to find it to finish what I was about to say! X
