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.

A Story Of Hope and of Courage
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
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.

Life Isn’t Fair – Move On
Life isn’t fair. It never will be fair. We can ask why. We can cry. We can complain. We can withdraw from life. There is only one healthy option, move on. We have to get up and move on when life unfairly hits us and knocks us flat on our back. Don’t stay down. Don’t quit. Rise and fight again. Rise, dig deep down, and fight on. Get inspired by this double amputee who wouldn’t quit. He dug down deep and is fighting back. He is my inspiration today. I hope he’ll be your inspiration to fight on.

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”.
