As much as giving credit to commercial television for anything productive seems like an incredible error in judgement, I saw about two seconds of a talent show that inspired this week's train of thought. I can't remember what show it was exactly, but there were a bunch of celebrity judges who were commenting on the performance of some dude standing on a stage. The only thing I really picked up as I continued surfing channels, was the enormity of sincerity and earnest belief in the words these people were saying.
Almost didn't end up with a post this week as it's been a great day of hanging with my family, seeing some great art, and eating some delicious food. Sometimes the real world comes knocking and I'm always up to shift focus when the opportunity presents itself.
Part of me feels like launching into a string of nonsensical words and signals to be correct in expression this week. Suffice to say, forming a sentence feels a little odd right now. You know when you repeat a word over and over until it becomes a meaningless collection of letters or sound? Yeah, that's now.
Maybe I've been spending too much time around friends and family who are teachers or studying to be teachers, but I've been thinking a lot about a "growth mindset". I mean, it's basically the philosophy behind these posts, so it's not a giant leap to consider such a thing.
