About a month ago I published the first ‘community insight’ post called:

10 Signs Of A Healthy Heart | Community Insight

Just like this one, it was published on a Friday so it could resonate with the “Motivate Thyself” readers over the weekend and take in some ‘insightful’ comments.  So here’s another ‘community insight’ post that will hopefully bring even more thought provoking ideas and views.

The basic concept is simple.  I layout the question and/or framework of the post and you guys fill in the blanks.  This is a perfect opportunity for you to put yourselves in the driver’s seat and share your thoughts with the rest of us.  And sure, you can do this on any post, but I want you to comment as if you were publishing your own mini post.  Let us learn a little something new from your words as they bounce off the basement walls.

Visual creatures

Human beings are very visual when it comes to absorbing the world around them.  One of the most powerful parts of these images is the colors that create them.  I find it amazing how many emotions, thoughts and ideas come to mind with a single tone.  And it is this idea that I want to expand on.

What I’m going to do is layout 10 specific colors.  Your job is to do the following:

1. Pick any one color from the list that reminds you of something that you are passionate about.
2. Then, tell us what that particular thing is.
3. Finally, expand on your thoughts as you share this specific passion.

The Colors

1. Red
2. Green
3. Blue
4. Yellow
5. Brown
6. White
7. Black
8. Gray
9. Purple
10. Pink

To give you an example of the idea, I’ll go ahead and share mine:

I picked blue.

Not only is it one of my favorite colors, but the ‘thing’ it represents to me that I’m hopelessly passionate about is the SKY.  To me, the sky represents freedom, flight, and sunlight.  Everything that is absolutely wonderful seems to live in the sky.  The peaceful clouds as they float by, a warm breeze on a summer’s day and the birds as they soar from one thermal to the next.

When I was a kid I used to lay in the grass and stare at the sky for hours.  Now, as an adult, I may not have hours to kill, but I still make sure to get in my sky escape time.

Now the floor is yours…
