Topic Brainstorm

Karma : I have always been fascinated by karma, i know a little about it but not much. If I did a story about karma it would have lots of action and talk about how karma effects different people in their lives. I like the idea of making it like a courthouse where Karma has to judge what the people have done and give them a consequence accordingly. With this story I would try and focus on different people's lives and what karma has done in them. Krishna : Krishna is the supreme God, I do not know much at all about Krishna but I think it would be very interesting to learn about him and research his stories. He can be known as a prankster so i would do a story focusing on that, he also is known as a hero and a lover so i would try and bring those aspects of him into his stories. I would make all of these stories through different phases of his life, like when he was a boy to when he is an adult. Reincarnation : Reincarnation has always been super interesting to me, i dont know ...

Feedback Thoughts

I think feedback is a great thing that can help one grow and learn from mistakes. Feedback offers outside opinions different than your own and often feedback helps you see another perspective. It is okay to not do everything perfect all of the time, if that were the case you would never learn and grow. If we never experience failure then it would be impossible for one to learn new things and and have a good mindset. Having a fixed mindset is not good and it can result in someone being stuck with the same intelligence, with little opportunity to learn more. Having a growth mindset sets you up to continue to learn, adapt and excel in the workplace. An environment with a growth mindset mentality is one that will have the most growth. It is important to change your mindset from fixed to growth. Self-doubt is another debilitating state that can leave one going backwards instead of growing and moving forward. It is important to not compare yourself to others, you are as smart as you let your...

Reading Options

By exploring the different readings that are available to me it started to get me excited. I think what I liked most is how a lot of the stories are interconnected and characters are in smaller stories all to create one big story. One of the readings I am particularly looking forward to is Kumbhakarna , I liked this one because the illustrations looked fun and the Ramayana sounds very intriguing. I also saw Narayan's Mahabarata  because when I looked at the book there were so many stories all in that one book, I am eager to learn all about the culture and history. The Jataka Tales were another story that caught my eye because it talks about former lives which I find to be very interesting and I think it may be something I want to do some future stories on. I found lots of different ideas of what I may want to do in the coming future but I would say one of my favorites was the idea of talking about former lives, that seems to really grab my attention.
