Inspirational Videos on Achieving Your Dreams

Despite the world being in a recession or depression, and gloomy circumstances all around, you can still choose to be happy.

Perhaps you – like me – have taken a negative circumstance (think job loss, losing your home, pay reduction, etc) and turned it around.

Now is an especially perfect time to consider doing what you’ve always wanted to do.


Think about your passions, dreams and desires.

•    What are they?
•    What could you do now that would move you in that direction?

Hopefully, these videos will encourage you and get your juices flowing…

Never, never, never quit (even if you feel like giving up)

Success Storyz: Selling Snow on Ebay

I found this little tidbit that truly points out that if you're creative and imaginative, you can accomplish whatever it is you want.

It takes place back in December with a Colorado couple. The story goes that Mary & Jim Walker needed money to purchase a snowblower and had the zany idea of selling snow on eBay to pay for it.

Well, it sold, believe it or not! A Connecticut firefighter had the winning bid for 3 organic Colorado snowballs. Here's where it got serious. The couple had no idea how they were going to ship the snow, without having it melt. They considered dry-ice, but were saved the trouble when Frontier Airlines heard about them and offered to fly them free, round trip to Connecticut to deliver the snowballs in person.

A great story. An even greater illustration of my belief that no matter what the situation, there is always a solution or a way through, if you persist and have faith.

So, wherever you are and whatever it is that you want to do, BE YOURSELF and PURSUE YOUR DREAMS at all costs!

Fear Failing Forward

FEARS can immobilize, paralyze and keep you stuck. Forget about how unrealistic they are or that they may not make any sense at all--to anyone but you. Fear can keep you from achieving your potential and stretching outside your comfort zone into someone you desire to become or doing something you've wanted to do for a long time.

Fear can be gut-wrenching, sickening and depressing. It is also one of the most LIMITING BELIEFS someone can have.

But don't give in to the pressure or the LIE that is holding you back, whatever that may be. Be courageous and stand up to it--believe me, in time you'll be glad you did. And, I realize it won't be easy. Doing great things usually isn't.

Someone once said that F.E.A.R. stands for: False Evidence Appearing Real. Nothing could be more true. When you internalize this and walk in it, you will find freedom to become who you desire to be and do things you never thought you could do.

Here's an encouraging snippet from Nelson Mandela's 1994 Inaugural Speech. I hope you find it uplifting and that it helps to move you forward. (Let me know what you think or if you have anything to share regarding this post.)

Our Greatest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest far is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

You were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within you. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
