POWERFUL SPEECHES

I've attached a few speeches below that I've found on the tube. I was affected by them.Was I permanently changed as a result of watching them? Perhaps, but what they did do was remind me of the purpose and intention of my journey. It reminded my spirit and kept me on course. For anything that taps into your emotions is tapping into your spirit. The constant reminder of the spiritual life and one's commitment to living a joyful existence is, in my opinion, the single most important choice a person can make from moment to moment.

When I embraced the type-A lifestyle, I surrounded myself with reminders of that life. I kept that intention alive perfectly well and had certainly gotten good at justifying the choices I made that kept that life going. I was an expert at cultivating that life by filling it with whatever perpetuated it. All my party people on speed-dial including the dealer, going to the big games to see and be seen, hanging at the bar till all hours, MMA fan, owned two guns, paranoid of the other guys including the 'terrorists', coffee and energy drinks, high fat, high sugar, high salt diet, fast food, fast woman, fast cars. Even seeing one of those supercars (you know, one of those 2 million dollar ones the playas own) would elicit a flood of emotions, excitement, jealousy, inadequacy...I wanted one and might have given a limb for one if given the choice.

The point is we all have a choice. Let me be more specific. In every moment we have an opportunity to steer our lives in one direction or another by the choices we make. We can choose to remind ourselves that we're creating good in every moment and surround ourselves with nothing but good and emitting nothing but good from within ourselves to every thing out there. Or not. The choice is yours. 

So please watch these videos and if they light a spark of feeling differently than you're used to, maybe choose to go with it, and then choose to go with it more, and remind yourself some more, and before you know it, it's who you are.
