When Cats Pray
I can’t remember who sent me this video, so I won’t be giving them credit. It is one of the funniest ones I’ve ever seen.

Are you going through Hell, too?
I’ve been here a few times:

Confidence: Walk Like You Got a Soundtrack
In order to succeed in this world, there’s one thing a writer needs more than anything else. It’s not talent. It’s not skill. And, no, it’s not an agent.
It’s a thing called CONFIDENCE.
It takes confidence to bare your inner soul in print. It takes confidence to let others see what you’ve written. You certainly need it to make the decision to publish, and definitely when you act on that decision. You need confidence to withstand rejection notices, and to handle success when it comes.
Which leads us to an obvious question: Where does one get confidence?
Easy answer: It’s been inside you all along. The embers of confidence are there. You just need to fan them into a flame. One awesome way to do this is through music—but not just any music.
You need a soundtrack.
You need a song that you can plug into your headphones when you sit down to work for the day, one that plays in your mind when you walk. Boom, boom, boom, step to the beat, walk with an attitude. Make people wonder whatcha got, want to know what you’re so interested in. “Who, me? I gotta dream, and I’m gonna rock the world!” That kind of music.
You can follow the example of Bre Pettis. He’s enthusiastic about history, a subject which just might put the average viewer to sleep. But not the way Bre delivers it. He’s excited about what he does, and his music video lets us share that energy. And I say “energy”…literally.
“Ready, steady, GO!”
And what about Angelina Jolie as legendary archaeologist Lara Croft? That lady walks with an attitude—confident in her ability to lay the smack down.
“Time to save the universe again, is it?” “Absolutely.”
Confidence isn’t reserved for geniuses and fictional heroes. It’s a free gift, accessible at any time. All you have to do is follow the example of Bre Pettis and Lara Croft.
Live up to the amazing potential that’s inside of you. Be smart. Be cool.
And walk like you got a soundtrack.

Let Your Soul Dance
I saw this video today, and it inspired me to tears. As a writer, I feel my dreams locked up inside my heart–and the work of my daily life is to set them free.
This video opened up my heart a little more, shook out the dust of disbelief and inertia, and made me realize anew that I have something beautiful inside myself. And I can set it free.
The same is true for you.
You can do anything you imagine.
You can go wherever you dream.
You may start out by yourself, but you will inspire others along the way.
Live fully. Live now.
