Judy Garland once said

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

Yeah.  That is the deal, the real advice, the life worth living.  Today on THM, videos that make you think.  Yes, it’s going to consume about fifteen minutes of your over packed day to watch them, but promise me that you will.

Think.

Be.

Live, hold on to the inspiration of it.

Let’s get started. Want some really great advice from the crayon gallery?  I do!   Prepare to laugh, be inspired,  to want to be a better version of you.  Change your state today, take up your dreams and make one small step in the direction of your amazing destiny.

I believe in you.

Following the Rules

I am in love, seriously in love.  I have been trying to write this morning, but an eight minute short film has been the bain of productivity for my over simplified mind.  Its simply funny, meaningful and sounds a whole like lot what I write.  I love these people. Give it a quick few minutes for perspective on your day.

The Crazy Ones

Another video that will inspire you, on an even higher level?  It’s called “Think Differently”  Story of my life.  🙂 It’s something that I watch often…the Crazy Ones.

 “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify and vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as crazy, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

The Girl

When people ask me why I will never give up on this crazy plan of mine to do something extraordinary with my life, to help people…to change the world, I have to remember that they don’t see things like I do.  This video helps me explain how hope solves everything, when it’s met with action.  The Girl.

I Dare You

Empathy that reaches the heart.  It’s in short supply these days.  I dare you to watch this video and think about what it has to say.  From a girl that came from “nothing,”  I still had every opportunity in the world because I was in the United States. Think outside of our borders for a moment, think of a global world of people on the margins.  What can you do?  More than you know.  This “I Dare You” video is from, of all companies…Nike.  Way to go.

So this is my few moments of making us all think outside ourselves for just a minute, to be incredibly grateful for the life that we’ve been blessed with and to make a difference in others as well.  New music tip if you’re seeking a new tune…well, not “new” but new for me?!   I Dare You by Shinedown.
