NOT SURE....

My play was a complete success.  The audience was a failure. 

 ~Ashleigh Brilliant

        

     Everyone has an opinion. They always do. It may not be voiced, but it is always there, lingering. Some discouraging, some encouraging. I suppose it really doesn't matter though, so long as you are consciously aware that they will forever exist about you. Whatever makes you happy, do it. Those are the things that fill your heart, and will shield you from any negativity. Let your confidence drive you, not someone else. Only you are in complete control of yourself, contrary to beliefs. And as hard as the realization may be,once you are aware that you are the biggest problem, and also your biggest solution, you can succeed in any avenue you choose to take.

       

A MAKER

What does being a maker entail?

I feel that in order to be a so called "maker", one must be an innovator, a first of their kind.  Someone unique and different that does, creates, represents, or upholds something completely new and different and brings it forth into our already complex society. A maker is essentially a puzzle piece. I feel that all individuals are, and that we all have the power to "make a difference" or even "make a point". We search so long throughout our lives for our purpose. I'm not so sure that we have one. I think sometimes that we are each a small, yet significant, aspect that makes up a bigger picture. And that even though we can only comprehend what we have been able to prove, I question our so-called "purpose" as possibly being something so insignificant in the big picture. However, it is true that one is only as strong as it's weakest link. Without individuals creativity, innovation, and aspiration to grow we would not flourish as a society, and even as human beings. If it weren't for the subconscious drive of each individual to learn and essentially be a maker and a master of their skill, the big picture would not exist. It is so important that each person throughout their lives remains curious, and keeps creating. Making new technologies, medicine, art, culture, and more, is essential because without the drive to make, the path do discovering a purpose and the bigger picture in life, would never be traveled.
