It's Up to You

Did you ever stop to think what the expression, "It's up to you," means? It's rather a peculiar turn of phrase. Why not say "It's down to you,"? Standing outside the one elevator at school, I pondered the symbolism of the arrows. Every day you are faced with decisions. Some you make without thinking, some you feel you have no choice, but often the direction you take, the attitude you have is up to you. And making that decision thoughtfully can make all the difference in your day and in your life.
P.S. I added the words when I processed the picture.

Pretty deep thinking while waiting for the elevator. Good use of your time. And we do say "it comes down to this" sometimes when making decisions.

[Ellen E]

It's all down hill from here.

[Kerri]

Cool

[Steve Harvey]

fun idea.

[Marianne Piano]

Yay, elevators are so boring it's nice when somebody does something fun with the buttons :D

[Rick Schies]

Don't you often wonder where some of our little word groupings originated.

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

I think they SHOULD put those words on the buttons...might put a smile on people's faces! Love your commentary for this shot...and so I think I shall work on being more UP today :=]

[Kay Taylor]

This is very cool!
