Each of us has an amazing gift. Gifts are meant to be given to others for their benefit. When we give the gift of our talent, we touch someone in a special way. We may get no recognition for our gift, yet, the person receiving our gift knows we made his or her day better. Today’s video is the inspirational performance of Andrea Bocelli and Katharine Mcphee singing “The Prayer.” Let their gift of song uplift your spirits.

Turning A Knockdown Into A Triumph
Know anyone who hasn’t been knocked down? Know anyone who hasn’t taken a hard blow? I don’t. Those who reach down and find their inner toughness, get up, shake it off, and become determined to make something good happen from what was bad. They have the courage to transform the moment into a beautiful, creative piece of human courage. You and I have the capacity to be that person. Dig down, dig deep, never quit. Turn the bad moments into good moments. This brief Ted Talk will inspire you to turn tragedy into triumph.

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.

Love Heals, Renews, And Recreates
Love comes to us from many sources. Love transforms us, heals us, renews us, and recreates us. Love lifts us up and all is well. In this one minute YouTube video you will be inspired by the unconditional love dogs bring to dying patients.
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.
