Discovering Who We Really Are

Pride often gets in the way of our ability to love. It gets in the way of discovering who we really are and what is our purpose in life. It stifles our growing into authentic human beings. Every once in a while a good dose of humility opens our eyes to the reality of our life and asks us important questions. The following time-lapse Vimeo video taken in New Zealand offers us an opportunity to see our place in our vast, beautiful, mystical cosmos. Enjoy.

Life Is Change – Create Good

Life is change. There is nothing we can do to prevent change from happening. It is as much a fact of life as the sun rising and setting. Each moment we are challenged to adjust and adapt to change. When we are open to change, we become its master. Change no longer drags us  kicking and screaming like a small child into a new reality. We move into our new reality and create good. Get inspired with the following YouTube video on change.

Imagine Inspiring Others

There is no small, unnoticed action of outs. It is witnessed by others. Even when we act in a space where there is no human observation of our activity, we carry that action within and its presence makes itself felt as we interact with others. Our actions count. Imagine each of your actions, however small, contributing to enrich, enliven and inspire others. I can see you doing this. This brief YouTube video of a Native American woman who grew up on the “Res” will inspire you as she inspires her brothers and sisters on the “Res”.

Don’t Be Afraid To Fail Big

The words were spoken by Denzel Washington at a commencement speech. Like you and me, Denzel Washington wasn’t born on third base, he failed, worked hard and continued to work hard. Failure didn’t stop him. Discouragement didn’t stop him. He dared to dream. He dared to aspire to big dreams. And, he dared to use his success to build others and create success stories beyond his own. Get Inspired. Dream Big.

Life – An Awesome Gift

Sometimes life’s problems weigh us down. Sometimes the struggle to go on may overwhelm us. But through it all, life is a gift, it is a wonderful, amazing, awesome gift. It’s beauty is in those we love and in those who love us. It’s in a blue sky, the winter’s first snow, or spring’s first flower. It surrounds us. It never leave us. Today I will open my eyes and my heart to this wonderful gift of life – I hope you do the same.
