Why Live? A Video Worth Your Time15 Sep

This video is based on a true story.

It’s also a Taiwanese commercial but don’t let your opinion of commercials stop you.  This is no ordinary commercial.

It’s about 5 men, average age 81.  They’re depressed, angry, sad, their bodies breaking down, and all have lived long enough to see loved ones die.

They answer a question that we all ask during our lives:

What is the point of living? Why live?

Oprah Fix: How to Change the World22 Aug

It’s been a while since Oprah’s official last show. So I thought from time to time, I Oprahwould offer an Oprah fix- maybe a few stories, or a how-to, or some inspirational words.

I was reading about the Second Law of Thermodynamics.  Did you know that on a molecular level atoms are constantly in a state of disorder?  They are always reacting and colliding with other atoms to form molecules, splitting from other molecules, back to being atoms again, which according to this law, increases entropy, or the overall chaos of the universe.

I find that to be a pretty powerful statement.  Because if the action of atoms affect the universe, then whatever we do, not only affects our personal life, but also affects the entire universe.

The Cost of Not Dreaming Is Higher than You Think04 May

Do you have time for dreaming?

If your answer is “no,” the cost in health and wealth is higher than you can imagine.

DreamsIn our 24/7 culture with light and global communication available at every moment, it’s easy to stay active day-round, year-round. Our focus on productivity feeds constant output and leaves little time for reflection, receptivity, and dream time.

But without dreams, our actions can become impoverished.

Most of us do not have a strong imaginative capacity because we were conditioned to be practical, logical, reasonable, and left-brained thinking rather than right-brain imagining.

Yet, so much is possible

Want to Be Inspired?25 Apr

Do you enjoy being inspired?

I do.

I find the more I expose myself to inspirational words, people, and situations, the more I am likely to act that way, too.  For me, learning is like being a sponge…I just keep soaking it up until I exude it.

Well, here’s a video of someone I found inspirational- Will Smith.  The video is a compilation of interviews with Charlie Rose, The Today Show, CBS 60 Minutes, Ellen DeGeneres, Tavis Smiley, The Early Show, and others.
