Power of Love

"All you need is love" is a phrase we seem to hear over and over again. One reason may be because it is the title of a famous Beatles song but maybe also because, well, it's true?

No matter what anyone says, I think this video is adorable. It shows the pureness and sweetness of love, being a child and 'firsts'.

At the end of the day, nothing else really matters.

Power of Strategy

I love what Tom Butler Bowden says in this video.

Strategies are what help us move towards the goals we set.

Power of Baloooooooo and Bare Necessities

When was the last time you watched Jungle Book?

I just spent the last five minutes watching this video below and by golly, I feel excited about life!

Yesterday I spent the day with Israeli and Palestinian women talking about values, needs and dreams.

What is life really about?

THE BARE NECESSITIES!

Have a watch!



The Bare Necessities
By Phil Harris, Bruce Reitherman


Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Power of Fascination and a Hogshead

Recently I have been reading an incredible book by Sally Hogshead - yes, her last name is HOGS - HEAD. Amazing.

She has written a book called Fascinate which reveals the 7 triggers that are used in branding.

She also goes into detail about how people not only wanted to be FASCINATED....we also want to BE fascinatING. Amazing revelation and so very true.

You can take her F Score (which tells you what your primary, secondary and dormant triggers are) by clicking here

My primary trigger is Lust - check this video out and see what you think the triggers are?

What makes Activia so FASCINATING?!

Power of Commercials

This just blew my mind.

Let it do the same for you.

Best commercial I have seen in a long time. Over 3 minutes - give it time to reveal it's awesomeness.

Power of Starbucks

This is just a really quick post to say how much I love Starbucks - free wifi, atmosphere, jazz tunes and my ability to sit and get work done when I am in them.

They are all over London and I truly call them "my office". They do not just provide coffee and space - they provide a business resource.

Thank you Starbucks.

Power of Whistling

One word - wow.

This reminders of Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers which says that if you do something for 10,000 hours or more, you will become a master.

This guy is proof of that. Enjoy!

Power of the Unexpected

I saw this quote today and it made me think about the importance of not only taking risks but of the UNEXPECTED.

"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen."

- Paulo Coelho, best-selling mystical author.

If we always know what is coming next, life gets boring. We become complacent and feel stuck.

Through uncertainty and freshness, we feel alive.

DO something TODAY that makes you feel alive. Give yourself a gift!
