There is no doubt words have power. Whether written or spoken words can create feelings, emotions, change thoughts and change lives. The reason…because we all share something simple, yet deep – the human experience.
The Sunday Series (42): Only Human
We all have a choice to make, we can live life, or let life slip by without ever really being aware of what was possible. Life presents challenges even to those among us who seem to have it all – there are always struggles. Never make the mistake of comparing your back stage to someone’s front stage, for you have no idea what is really behind the curtain. Comparison is the thief of all joy.
This morning, it’s not a story, it’s simply about words. In this case the spoken word, or a song, which when you realize the challenges we all face, I believe each one can make a difference in your life. Words which are written down as in books, magazines, newspapers, blogs and the like become permanent because you can go back to reference them again and again. Spoken words as well are recorded and become a place to turn to harness inspiration. The key then becomes to turn that inspiration into motivation and into action.
The human experience is shared, so why not turn to another human when looking for a lesson, a way to overcome, a word, or words which can move you to make a change, or to stay the course if necessary. We are all in this together and all the great thoughts, great words and direction for great action have been recorded in some form and are at your fingertips. The golden staff of knowledge, wisdom, the one phrase or message which can literally turn your life on a dime is right there in front of you. The secret: to be aware, to listen, to search and to find. Treasures are everywhere.
There are links to three videos below: If you have a little more than ten minutes this Sunday, (or any day you want to click on them, they are permanently here on this blog remember), I believe they can truly help.
The first video is about what it’s like to fight for what you want, to find your why. Learn who you are, what you are all about and realize that we are all in this thing called life together – and you have the power to make life all it can be:

The second video is truly the essence of personal growth, it’s so simple, yet so profound that once you listen you will realize this could be the beginning of something big for you. It has for me:

The third video is a song, one which reminds us all that no matter what, there is one thing you do that can change your life and the lives of others every day you are here:
I hope they make your Sunday special.
Until next time, thanks for taking the time.
