Embrace your power of gratitude ~ Inspirational video

Sit back, relax and turn up your speakers for this inspirational movie by Mac Anderson and BJ Gallagher from Simple Truths, “Learning to Dance in the Rain”.  The words, the photographs and the music are beautiful!  Enjoy!

Learning to Dance in the Rain by Mac Anderson and BJ Gallagher can change your attitude about facing adversity.  It’s not the adversity, but how we react to it that determines the joy and happiness in our lives. Learning to Dance in the Rain shows us that while we all face challenges, embracing the power of gratitude can change your life forever.  During tough times, do we spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude…learn how to dance in the rain?

“Learning to Dance in the Rain.”
“Life is not about waiting
for the storm to pass…
It’s about learning to
dance in the rain.” – Vivian Greene

 

It almost sounds too simple to feel important, but understanding the power of gratitude can change your life forever. Sarah Breathnach said it best… “When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present…we experience heaven on earth.”

DREAMS ARE WHISPERS FROM THE SOUL ~ INSPIRATIONAL!

“Dreams Are Whispers From The Soul” video was uploaded by simpletruthstv on May 26, 2009.

Two of my favorite quotes from this lovely video are ~

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.  I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and follow where they lead.” – Louisa May Alcott

 

“The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

 

 

 

 

 

We have a dream inside ourselves,
A gift to us at birth,
To guide us and protect us,
On our journey on this earth. 

We all have something special,
Each one of us unique,
You have to find the courage,
To find the peace you seek.So dream your dream and live your dream,
Don’t be afraid to try,
Just take your soul by the hand,
And let your spirit fly. – Maureen Weiner, Australian poet

 

I hope that the video has inspired you and will lift your spirits and warm your heart.

COURAGE DOESN’T ALWAYS ROAR ~ IWD 2013

When we think about courage, it’s usually stories of heroism that come to mind. But for millions of women around the world, courage comes in a very different way. It’s a quiet voice that gives them the strength to go on for another day. Take 3 minutes and be inspired by this new movie celebrating the courage and strength of women just like you.

As today, March 8th is International Women’s Day observed around the world, I thought it would be most fitting to share this Simple Truths video, ” Courage Does Not Always Roar” with you. 

I’m surprised, but pleased to read that it is an official  holiday in many countries  ~ the following excerpts are from http://www.internationalwomensday.com/about.asp                                                                         “IWD is now an official holiday in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, China (for women only), Cuba, Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar (for women only), Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nepal (for women only), Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zambia. The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc with flowers and small gifts. In some countries IWD has the equivalent status of Mother’s Day where children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers…

Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women’s craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.

Many global corporations have also started to more actively support IWD by running their own internal events and through supporting external ones. For example, on 8 March search engine and media giant Google some years even changes its logo on its global search pages. Year on year IWD is certainly increasing in status. The United States even designates the whole month of March as ‘Women’s History Month‘.

So make a difference, think globally and act locally !! Make everyday International Women’s Day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.
