Alright, are you ready? Put on your thinking caps and let's get started with the greatest haiku challenge ever!

A story about transformation, personal growth, and spirituality can be hard to write. But what's even harder? Compressing that entire story into a 3-line, 17 syllable (well, 17 moras if you wanna get technical) haiku.

If you forgot what a haiku is, it's a 3 line poem. The first and last line contain 5 syllables, while the middle line contains 7. So 5-7-5.

So drop a comment with your own haiku about personal growth, transformation, spirituality, or life!

Here's one to get you going. If Dylan Thomas had written zombie haikus, this would probably be it:

Zombie Haiku by Dylan Thomas (from Zombiehaiku.com)
Do not go gentle
into that zombie plagued night.
And take the shotgun.

Can't wait to hear your haikus! And no, they don't have to be zombie related

Hey guys!

A couple weeks ago we put out a challenge to all of you. And the challenge was this: give us your 6-word personal growth story >>.

First, we really want to thank all of you who submitted your stories. They were so much fun to read and not only did they give us insight but they really inspired us too.

The stories were amazing. Each and every one of them. But we narrowed them down to the top 12 and asked you guys for your help. Out of these 12 stories, which were the best ones?

And I need to mention here that there was a special prize for the top 3 winners!

We had an amazing time with this and it was a ton of fun, but without further ado, here are the top 3 winners as voted by you!

(in no particular order)

"Hey you, I am another yourself"

- Ken Quinlan

"Walk with wisdom – live with intention"

- Apasmara Purusha

"Relax, Life ain’t all that serious."

- Duane Ford

And as for their special prize. This is what they got and it couldn't have been more appropriate. Of all the interviews we've had on FinerMinds, one of the top ones has always been with The Winning Sage, Helene Hadsell. From metaphysical journeys, meetings with non-physical beings, and winning every contest she's ever entered, this lil' lady is dynamite.

So congrats to all 3 of our winners and as their well-deserved prize we are giving them lifetime access to the entire The Winning Sage Program (it's worth $67 ). Funny enough, the winners have won a product about winning contests!

We hope the winners will benefit from this and have fun with it at the same time.

Stay tuned as we'll be posting more challenges soon! Not to mention, they come with some really cool prizes!

Cheers,

Gabrielle
