One of man’s biggest obstacle is fear. I have always been fascinated by this human emotion, perhaps because I, like others, have certain fears to overcome. It is so powerful that, even though we do not realize it, some estimate that as much as 90%r of the fear that we feel on a daily basis is self imagined or imaginary. Could this be true?
As I was putting these clips together, I was reminded what a powerful medium film can be and how it can evoke certain feelings and emotions from it’s audience. Fear immobilizes us, it translates us into someone we would other wise never be. The strength dissipates, the light faded, the night becomes darker, the watery deep becomes deeper. We tend to breath heavier and faster, we walk faster, our heart tries to keep up. The lightning brighter and closer, the shadows darker and larger… could it be true, or is it merely a reflection of what is inside each of us, a projection of a fear that we have inside. Could it be just an illusion, something that is created by us as quickly as it is can be destroyed by us?
Ponder on this and next time that fear overcomes you, ask yourself…”is this real or imagined?”

One of the most powerful of all human emotions is to love. Perhaps the single most important lesson that we as humans can learn. From the day we come into this world until the day we die, we have only one single need and want: to love and be loved.

So how do you deal with the lack of love in your life? How do you deal with the fact that many are alone, many seek and do not find? Does it mean that there is a lack of love in the world?

As I ponder this powerful human delinma, I reflect on the past, present, and imagine the future…in my own life. Even when we find ourselves part of a nucleus, part of a family, part of a marriage…some do not feel loved. And as I studied deeper, I realized something key that is missed, something that is taken for granted, something that we forget. We forget to acknowledge another, forget to admit that that person exists, that she/he is at least important, that she/he matters, that ahe/he exists. We forget to validate that person.

Ever wonder what it could be like to live in a deserted island? How it would be that no one knows your name, no one calls your name, no one sees that you exist, that you matter, that you are here for an important mission, that you were born to conquer the world. Sadly, many live in that deserted island where no one takes the time to see you as you really are… to say the simple yet powerful words “you are great person, you are amazing!”

Once upon a time we were the most important person in the world to someone, the day we were born. Be that person for someone today. Validate them for the amazing person that they are, you’ll thank me later.

One of the beautiful aspects of life is that it is never boring. One day the sun might be shinning and pouring rain the next. In a way, this is a metaphor for what we at times feel in our lives. Change is the only constant in life and once we understand that we gain a new perspective and perhaps even renewed strength to keep keeping on.
In my never ending quest for beauty, today I can across this incredible video that gave me chills as I listened to it. Few artist can evoke this sensation in me and I felt strongly enough about it that I had to write a few words about it and share it. So, if you’re having a rainy day, week, month or just need a little “kick in the rear” – listen to this guy but make sure you turn up your speakers and maybe even close your eyes.
