Catching Fire

>> 2.28.2009 – 8 Ways To Your Inner Genius, Alexys Fairfield, Intelligence, Quotes

"If schools were to practice multiple intelligences, imagine how much more successful our students would feel? If more teachers were inspired to extract the pulp from a lesson plan and thus the pulp from the students, imagine how much more successful our teachers would feel? Let us encourage our teachers to be inspired so that they may pass inspiration on to their students so that their students can catch the same fire that makes them feel alive."

Movement

In The Joy

>> 2.21.2009 – Alexys Fairfield, Awards, Joy, Quotes, Work

"People are convinced that somehow if they win an award that they are validated for this existence - for reaching a certain status. What do awards do but make people compete in the most despicable ways to the point where they are not being voted for, they are being voted against.

While it's certainly nothing wrong with the idea of awards, the ego distorts the idea into a knock-down, drag-out competition. We tell ourselves, we deserve it, no one else was better than us. We have to feel the joy in creating the work and even more joy when other people enjoy our work. Joy is its own reward."

Such A Paradox

>> 2.17.2009 – Alexys Fairfield, Awakening, Dreaming, Love, Paradox, Quotes

"The paradox of love: We have to hang on to it to give it. Not possess it, but express it. Within this paradox, love finds us right where we want to be - between dreaming and awakening."

A Catalyst

>> 2.14.2009 – Alexys Fairfield, Catalyst, Love, Quotes

"People don't shun love more than they think love has shunned them. Love is an electricity making it's way through the sinews and veins that power our heart. With it, we can do anything - we are weightless. Without it, we feel the weight of the world crashing down on us.

Love is a catalyst that propels us into foreverness. It is the poem of life that spills it rhymes onto our pages. We express that in which we want to love or that in which we love. Anyway we look at it, the heart writes it's own poem about love while love continues to beat down the path to every heart."
