Inspirational Video: Dr Randy Pausch – 7 Tips for Living an Inspired Life
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a fabulous video to watch when you’re acting like Eeyore (which we all do sometimes!) Some tips from this great video when Dr Pausch appeared on the Oprah show:
1. Always be dreaming… never lose that spirit. “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you wanted”
2. The brick walls that are in our way are there for a reason, to let us prove how badly we want things.
3. Remember the importance of People vs. Things
4. Decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. Never underestimate the power of having fun.
5. Work & Play well with others.
6. Show gratitude.
7. Don’t complain, just work harder…
If you lead your life the right way… the dreams will come to you.

Examples of Why Failure Isn’t the End of the Road to Success…
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a fabulous video showing some great examples of extremely successful people who encountered what could have been the end of their brilliance. What I love is that each one of these people persevered and followed their dream to become not just successful, but the BEST in their respective fields….
Some of my “failures”:
- Being asked to leave my high school choir because I wasn’t good enough… then signing a record deal and becoming a professional singer with my own self-titled cd in South America
- Getting panned in speech class… to getting asked for an interview by Oprah herself!
- and I could go on…
How about you?
Have you ever been told you couldn’t…? And more importantly, what did you do with that “opinion”…
Life = Risk so what are you going to risk accomplishing today?
As always, I’d love to hear from you!
