START SOMETHING THAT MATTERS Post #2

1/28/2013

 
Keep It Simple

Please respond to the following prompts in 75 to 100 words.

1. Why is simplicity so hard to achieve? What's the difference between achieving simplicity and merely being simplistic?

2. Take a story you know well, such as a fairy tale or a popular movie, and simplify the plot to a few sentences while still retaining what makes it interesting.

START SOMETHING THAT MATTERS, Post #1

1/15/2013

 
Please respond to the following prompt in 75 to 100 words.


"Sometimes fear is based upon experience: You encounter a situation that you've dealt with before where things went wrong, and you don't want to repeat the past. Sometimes it's irrational and isn't based upon anything at all." 

What fears are you currently facing? How are you choosing to face these fears with courage, compassion and connection?
