Feel Good Friday...Don't Worry, Be Happy

Feel Good Friday…Don’t Worry Be Happy

Many of you remember the Bobby McFerrin hit song “Don’t Worry Be Happy”. Mr. McFerrin has won 10 Grammy awards and has produced music all across the spectrum from pop to jazz to classical. His 1988 hit was inspired by an Indian mystic, Meher Baba, whose face is associated on posters with the philosophy…”Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” Here is a video inspired by the song:

This simple life instruction is a watch word for all of us...in any times.

Feel Good Friday...The Principal's Office

Feel Good Friday…The Principal’s Office

Throughout my years of schooling I cannot remember one principal’s name. I went to at least 6 different schools and I cannot recall even one name of the person who was in charge of the school. This video:

will introduce you to a principal whose name his charges will not forget. At his first job, in a Jr. High renowned for its poor performance, violence and drug activities, this man made all the difference in the world. The school is an A+ school today. Children are not only learning their “3 rs” but are learning what it takes to be good responsible citizens as well. This is one principal’s office I wouldn’t mind sitting in!

Feel Good Friday...What Madoff couldn't Steal

Feel Good Friday…What Madoff Couldn’t Steal

Imagine you are on vacation…In Antartica( I know it wouldn’t be my first choice either). Penguins, Ice, Cold, really really cold, Icebergs, and more Icebergs but the ship has a satellite phone (only about $10.00 per minute) and you get a call. It’s your spouse telling you the man who you gave your entire life savings to has been arrested for perpetrating the largest financial fraud in history. Your money is gone. Completely gone…down to zero, sip nada, gone. What are you going to do?

This really happened. Get his story here (it’s pretty funny):

Remember…You are not your money.
You are not your house.
You are not your FICO score.
You are a child of the divine.
Your presence makes a difference in the world.

Namaste

Feel Good Friday...Powerful Beyond Measure

Feel Good Friday…Powerful beyond Measure

Whatever you think about Tony Robbins, you have to admit that he has had a tremendous impact on millions of people’s lives. His story is interesting, his books thought provoking and his seminars/workshops can be mind blowing. He just turned 50 years old and I got this video from him in celebration of his birthday:
http://training.tonyrobbins.com/

It is a great little mash up reminding us of how powerful we really are. You need to begin to believe this. Until you believe it you can’t achieve it! Watch this several times and get your head around the fact:
You are Powerful beyond belief, beyond compare. Embrace it, Love it, Be it.

Feel Good Friday...Education is a Privilege

Feel Good Friday…Education is a Privilege?

In this country we take for granted the opportunity each child has for education. Many children loathe school. Many of them go out of their way to avoid the work and do things to disrupt the experience of everyone else. In most parts of the world education is a privilege not a right, not a requirement. Here is a young man doing his best to educate the children around him. He has no government mandate, no credentials and no budget. He has a willingness to teach, pupils eager to learn and no need for anything more than that.

Education will change poverty. Education will change fundamentalism. Education will do more to eradicate the problems of the world than money, food, or intentions.

Feel Good Friday...Water for Everyone

Feel Good Friday….Water for Everyone

You and I are mostly water. The planet is mostly water. Without water we will die in about 3 days. Right now 3.5 billion people on the planet are suffering due to lack of adequate, safe drinking water. Every day thousands of children die from water borne illnesses.

The problem is fixable. Michael Pritchard, an engineer from England, has developed a fix. He has created a simple and portable water filtration device that could change our entire infrastructure around water. The video is here:
http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1663

Many of us complain about our tap water. Guess what? Here in America, almost everywhere in America, the water that comes out of your tap is safe to drink. It does not contain parasites, bacteria and viruses that will cause you to sicken and maybe die. You do not have to travel for miles every day to a clean water source to provide water for your family. Yet many of us spend huge amounts of money every week buying water in single serving plastic bottles…which create quite another problem, by the way. But that is another story!

Until next time…

Feel Good Friday...Surfice Dog Ricochet

Feel Good Friday…Surfice Dog Ricochet

Rather than focus on what you can’t do, focus on what you can do.

Ricochet was born, bred, and trained to be a service dog for someone with disabilities. She was also a golden retriever bird dog, with the emphasis on “bird”. She just couldn’t get the bird out of her system and get on with the service part. Here is a story of discovering what your gifts, skills and talents can be used for…even if it wasn’t what people thought they were going to be used for.
