Every day we are challenged to find optimism in life. Often the struggle to find opportunity is much more prevalent than the belief in limitless possibility. Thanks to a conversation I had about turkey dreams, my dear friend Amy helped me latch on to the challenge of finding inspiration in my dinner napkin. (Bet you never thought you’d read that sentence.)
So here’s the question: What color is this napkin?
A pragmatic person might say that this napkin has no color because the hue of white is defined as the absence of color.
I would say this napkin is the color of possibility.
Just think about it!
There are endless ways this napkin could take on a different shade.
The addition of spaghetti sauce could present a rainbow of red and orange. Grape juice has the option of purple or light green. Lipstick has limitless shades. Chocolate and coffee offer a cacophony of browns and tans. The list could go on and on. While napkins may not seem like much of a luxury, they really are. The fact that we can watch them morph into infinite colors and fix countless conundrums should help us absorb optimism every.single.day.
So I ask you again, “What color is this napkin?”
Your Intentergy challenge for today is to soak up some positivity from an unexpected place. It might be your lunch napkin, a bottle of water, or the umbrella bag available inside the grocery store. I want you to find an opportunity or appreciation through something out of the ordinary. Define one way to see the world in a more colorful light and put purpose into the energy you create because of that new perspective.
