The Response Ability of ..........
The world of entertainment
is wide and vast. Through it the
possibilities are endless. Almost every question can be answered and every
desire can be satisfied. I am yet amazed
that I speak to my Android phone and
it responds.
I have even heard stories
about co-workers being introduced and flabbergasted at the concept of using the
phonebook when ordering lunch. When the computer network is down, what is one
to do? In lieu of panic, thumbing the pages of a phonebook has become to
daunting of a task for us eighties babies.
When my eleven year old
requested to utilize a thesaurus, I experienced a brief moment of relief. I was
in awe, thinking that my offspring has not lost the gift and gene of research.
Walking the stacks used to be a badge of honor. You search relentlessly, reaching for books
on high shelves and sweating profusely in stale aisles of knowledge. Your feeling
pretty good about your efforts, only to approach the copy machine, in which
someone has adhered with not –so- sticky masking tape an “out of order” sign.
But we got through it and
life was good. In the words of my thesaurus seeking child, “ Mom, that is why
Jesus created Google.”
I greatly appreciate the
minds and efforts behind innovation that allow us to have access to the corners
of the earth. I have, however developed a great and ever
increasing concern for innocence. This unlimited access comes with a large
price tag.
What used to be left to
the imagination is accessible by the search bar. The results are based on the
spectrum of your privacy and safety settings. I have been introduced to a wide
range of unsolicited material, either by way of misspelling or slipped mouse
clicks. Every desire is truly being
satisfied.
I have chosen the field of
Professional Speaking in order to be
a voice for those that choose not to be led by emotions, urges, and trends.
True entertainment, is birthed in creativity.
Ask any artist; in the
essence of the response you will hear that creating a masterpiece is not simple.
Artist be they defined as painters, musicians, or poets never complete a piece,
they stop working on it.
We are responsible to create
and the creation waits.
I have listed some steps
that I use a personal guide to keep me anchored in the world of anything goes.
Step 1.Don’t give into the status quo. That has already been done.
Step out and create something. Dr Seuss sums this up for us.
“You have brains in your head. You
have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll
decide where to go...”
Step 2. Access the path that you are on .
I believe Will Smith said
it best “Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity.”
If someone has talked you into this
path, get off immediately and refer to step one.
Step 3. In your journey of creativity, make your Grandmother proud
At som point she may have given you
a “let’s be realistic” speech when you were trying to go to the NBA, or you
wanted to grow up and be like Tiger when golf became cool in the ninety’s. But
that doesn’t mean you should produce art that is embarrassing and she can’t
show her church group. Keep it rated “G”
for your Granny.
Step 4. Know that you are seen.
If you build it they will come. If you post it, it will be seen.
Your art is leaving an imprint on
the world. How will the world remember
you?
