It is easy to get caught up in what we do not have. This is not simply a steem-centric phenomenon, but a phenomenon that permeates all levels and spheres of the human experience.
However, as easy as it is to focus on "what we lack", it is easier still is it to ignore the simple grandeur with which we are blessed in this life. Perhaps more importantly, though, we are blessed with the capacity to create and support creators as they practice the experience of what it means to be "made in the image of the Creator".
Well this is a video served as a wonderful reminder to me of all the above. It helped remind me to appreciate what I have, while also validating the notion that we can create in ways that break down the rules to help others. And by helping others we give meaning to our own lives.
This video not only brings attention to + those with Color Vision Deficiency (Colorblindness), but also served as a strong reminder of another kind of color blindness. The kind that tells us we cannot do amazing things to help others and achieve great heights in the human experience. The kind that tries to make us forget the power of creation and the Creator in whose image we were formed. To simply turn our heads and search for the next reason why "we cannot do" X, Y, Z....etc.
I posted "Beauty for more to See" by TNVacations because it captures the essence of what I have tried (and never accomplised to the degree I wished) to do with beyondbitcoin. Because the essence of beyondbitcoin is to help remind us all that we can honestly look at the world and our capacity to change big things...not by starting small, but instead by recognizing that we are all creators. We all are very big. We just sometimes need to use new lenses to see it...

What a very potently beautiful piece you served us today! THANK YOU!!! Such reminders are always worth repeating for us all, at least three times say the Africans! ;)
Namaste :)

Beautiful! And sometimes what we also need is a little perspective; the perspective gained by pausing and being truly thankful for the little things we DO have, and perhaps come to take for granted. Doing so (I have found) helps me make smaller changes that help people because they are actually huge.... we don't all need to "invent the cure for cancer" to make an important difference in someone's life.
Yup....
Now that is a lesson i need to remind myself too!

Thanks for posting this. It is something so far out of the daily norm within our community feverishly trying to build bigger and better 'things' and what we see in the narrow scope of life on Steemit. Nice to give pause and reflect on what we have at the moment.
Well said - nothing more needs to be added.
We are all creators
How could it be any other way? When all u have to do to see it...is choose to simply look at it... ;)
Good deed goes a long way.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for reminding me that we can always help others.
Its not me man. I just was blessed to watch it... :]

Thank you Fuzzy, you made my otherwise black-and-white day :)
This is very touching, particularly since I am a painter and struggle with color on a different level. Its heart warming to... ahm see.. the reactions of someone who was given such a life altering experience.
I really like how you transfer the concept to an even bigger vision and the "blindness" of so many for their potential. Very inspiring, particularly since being an artist also includes the desire to contribute to the lens.
Great analogy, having glasses on which colour your perception is very common. It's also called transparent beliefs since you believe something to be true without noticing your looking right through the illusion.
