No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do. – Dorothy Day
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.

Stories of men and women who overcome adversity inspire me. Their stories are a continual reminder to me that no matter how difficult my challenges, how high the mountains appear in front of me, I am strong to fight on. This YouTube video is a bit longer, it is 12 minutes, but it will be worth every minute of your time. Jack Kavanagh is one of my heroes. After you listen to his story, he will be your hero as well.

You are courageous. Deep within you is a reservoir of strength that can overcome any obstacle, face any challenge, and confront any fear. Don’t listen to the voices of fear, despair, and of hopelessness. Instead, change the channel and listen to voices of courage, hope, and resilience. The following short YouTube video presents the voices of six men and women who refused to listen to the negative voices and instead chose hope.
