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”.

Facing Our Challenges
Each day brings us a new challenge. The challenges unforeseen. The challenges, some small and some great. The challenges, at times shaking us to a very core. The challenges, looking at us, laughing at us, asking us if we are man or woman enough to face them head on and not back down. In this brief YouTube video get inspired to meet your challenges.

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.
Dare To Go All In
It’s time to assess the quality of our dreams. Are our dreams big enough? Do they challenge us to give it everything we’ve got and hold nothing back? If we look inside, what is depth of the commitment we are willing to make to go after the dream. In this 48 second YouTube video Arnold Schwarzenegger inspires us to go all in after a big dream or not go at all. What is your decision? I know mine.

Falling In Love With Writing
A dozen years ago I read Ray Bradbury’s book, The Zen of Writing. His book turned the way I thought about writing on it’s head. I read it once, and I read it again. I read it every year to learn again from one who was in love with writing. In this short 2 minute YouTube video of Ray Bradbury, I hope you catch the fever of writing with love for life.
