February 26, 2018 – I saw a post on LinkedIn from someone about a writing challenge – a way to get unblocked and get the creative thoughts flowing again. So I signed up. It’s only 1 week.
The first challenge was to close your eyes, then look down at your keyboard, open your eyes and write about what key your eyes focused on. You had to write for 10 minutes. I will admit that I was stumped and I don’t think I actually wrote for 10 minutes.
When I opened my eyes, they were drawn to the 7/ & key. I’m not sure why. So here goes…..
I guess one could say that 7 & implies that there is more. If you were making a bucket list and were fortunate to reach number 7 – you’d stop and say “And…. is there more you want to accomplish?”
When doing anything, 7 is an odd place to stop – literally and figuratively.
Same if you were inviting dinner guests, you wouldn’t stop at 7. You’d want to make sure you had an even number. So somebody would either be dropped or added; depending upon how you were feeling about the guests you had invited.
Even when you were learning to count by 2s, you started at 1 and kept going to 9 or 11 or beyond (if you were a superstar). You never stopped at 7.
Nobody stops at 7 – sports teams, card games……nothing comes to mind with 7 in it.
We live in a world of evens – not odds.
