September 06, 2008Doing the Seeming Impossible
OK. Here's a wake up call for all of us who think our life or work challenges are impossible. Click below to see what this chap accomplished, then ask yourself whether or not what YOU'RE trying to accomplish (i.e. stay conscious, grow your business, make a transition, write a book, practice Knowledge, forgive someone, etc.) is really so difficult to pull off.
For more inspiration, click on the link below the YouTube video.
Thanks to Chris Tardieu for forwarding this video.

"What is now proved was once only imagined." - William Blake
"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt
"Genius is infinite painstaking." - Michelangelo
"A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock pile when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind." - Antoine Saint-Exupery

August 04, 2008VIDEO: Make Each Day Count
If you had one month to live, what would you talk about if someone asked to interview you? What message would you leave behind? In this touching 8-minute video, Greta Brenman, who passed away on June 18th, shares her feelings about life and the guidance of her teacher, Maharaji. I hope you get a chance to pause for a few moments and consider Greta's words and the sweet feeling behind her words. None of us know how long we have left here. Let's enjoy each day to the fullest -- one breath at a time.
