Peace is power

It is possible to live in peace.

Better than a thousand hollow 

words is one word that brings 

peace.

Think Different

A reminder...

"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice..."

"And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

- Steve Jobs, 1955-2011

Happy International Peace Day

Today is the United Nations designated International Day of Peace!

"Because if you can find it in yourself to do something for Peace Day, September 21st, no matter how big or small, then together we can create a day of global unity. And that unity will save lives."

Today is "an opportunity for individuals around the world - particularly young people - to become involved in the peace process."

"It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it." - Eleanor Roosevelt

"If we want them to observe it, then we the people are going to have to act and become involved. And if we become involved, they will follow. But they won't do it if we don't do it. The time is now."

"World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not the absence of violence. Peace is the manifestation of human compassion."
-Dalai Lama

The Power of Sport: The Little Team

A friend of mine recently came across a truly inspiring video of a group of kids on a soccer team called "L'equip petit" or the Little Team. L'equip petit brings a whole new perspective to the way I look at sports... How often do we forget that what we're doing is fun?

"It's fine. They play, they have fun, they learn, they know how to respect the opponent, how to respect their team-mates, they collaborate with the team. We haven't scored any goals yet, but it's fine."

To quote my friend who shared this video with me, 

"The game of soccer is in these kids, its their spirit."

"We don't care if we don't score because we have fun."

L'equip petit reminds us of what sport is truly about - learning, growing, respect, teamwork, perseverance, leadership, and being able to show your joy, passion, and love for sport.

Waiting on the World to Change

"Everything we feel deeply must be expressed"

In 2007 the top 10 dancers of a popular American reality TV show, So You Think You Can Dance, performed solo routines to the song "Waiting on the World to Change" by John Mayer. The dance was choreographed by esteemed choreographer Wade Robson and his inspiration was to promote peace through the expression of dance.

Lacey - "Peace"

The dancers were also given the opportunity to interpret bits and pieces of the choreography to "express their individual feelings." They wore t-shirts with the word of their choice spray painted on the back; the words included humility, love, communication, hope, trust, understanding, honesty, patience, compassion, and peace.

Neil - "Humility"

Lacey's and Neil's performances were my favourite, but you can check out the other 8 solos on Youtube.

We all express our goals, dreams, emotions, etc. in different ways, and I found these dances extremely moving and inspiring.

"One day our generation, is gonna rule the population, so we keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change" 

Peace&Love.
