Module #3 - "MONOLOGUES" - Fall 2020

[Prof. Sindor Aloyarc]

Welcome to the Module 03 "Monologues" thread! Consider what you've written down from your brainstorm in the Meditation portion of our exercises. What jumps out at you that's wanting to be explored a little more deeply? Come up with a topic based around these meditations and write an essay about your personal perspective on the matter ("Scroll-and-a-Half" / 150 words). This could be a single aspect or multiple elements from your list. In addition to sending in via e-mail, if you feel like sharing with your peers go ahead and post here with or without including your "Meditation" and/or "Mindfulness" responses added in together. This is voluntary and will not effect your points one way or another, however it will add to our community vibe and could stir up conversation for any "Mingling" points you may wish to accrue as Extra Credit.

[February Fortescue]

Who are you? Where are you going? With every choice you make, you either move closer to or farther away from your goals and where you'd like to be in life.

I often look at life as a card game. We each get dealt a hand. Let's say you have several Hearts of high value, some Spades of decent value, and low Diamonds and Clubs. You take the hand that you've been dealt and use it to play the game. The Hearts are great - you have a great depth of feeling. You want to hold onto those cards and use them to your advantage. You decide you want to increase your Diamonds, because you consider cashflow important. So you choose to say yes and focus on those two things. Since you've chosen to focus on Diamonds, if you get the chance to increase the Diamond cards in your hand, you'll take that action. If you find a way to save money or increase your money, as long as it doesn't violate your values or detract from other areas, you will choose that and you'll say no to other choices, such as spending money on luxury watches you don't need.
