And certainly as we are going about our day-to-day lives, there are people that are suffering inside themselves as he must have been. We often have no idea what the people surrounding us are going through. A powerful message that should be listened to over and over again.

Timely for me, as well. It's funny how during during seasons one can receive the same sort of message repeatedly in different forms. Or maybe it's that, I'm coming to believe....all good true, worthy things are connected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1136056 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:11:20 +0000 Jjsloane 1136056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing.

I could quote and bold each and every one. Thank you Angie and everyone. I am constantly amazed just how many wonderful, life-shifting&nbsp;things can be learnt about here.</p> <p>I will go back to this message many times, I like how it's told.

Thanks for sharing!&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;You know, somehow, without conscious decision, I started doing things in my day to day life&nbsp;shops like smiling at strangers, using the cashier's name when I pay for my groceries, saying something friendly other the necessary courtesies and it's often struck me how much better those simple things can make a mundane experience.&nbsp;It's not easy to do it, bit it really is worth the effort.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1135766 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 00:59:51 +0000 Angie 1135766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a pleasure, ladies.

Her favorite saying was, "There but by the grace of God go I." My job involves dealing with the general public, which can be stressful at times. I have to remind myself that I don't know what type of background or upbringing or life experiences a person has had before walking into my office. Some people can really try my patience, but I grin and bear it, and try to be tolerant and understanding. It's a process, really. I can't say I've totally "arrived." I'm working on it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1135380 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 19:14:06 +0000 tarzy 1135380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved this.

My son is in 6th grade and the entire year, they are reading fictional novels regarding discrimination of every kind.

So sad that DFW succumbed to his own pain and depression. He was a brilliant man, but more than that, a man who tried to become good.&nbsp;</p> <p>Research shows that reading fiction leads to expanded empathy -- to people being able to make the kinds of choices he reminds us to make. Writing it does much the same. And every day we get to try again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1135005 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 12:55:14 +0000 Archer 1135005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. &nbsp;I think that it is pretty much the deficit in the westernised culture. &nbsp;<br />Eastern cultures seem to have a much greater handle on experience and time and happiness etc. &nbsp;You don't see the Dalai Lama doing road rage.<br />Really enjoyed it and will go back again and hear the whole speech.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1134953 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:15:36 +0000 Kristin SF 1134953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful message, thank you for sharing.</p> <p>(I remember trying to slog through Infinite Jest in my early 20s.

Thank you so much. How true this is. 11years ago, I heard a piece on NPR about how the US was trending in narcissism to the point it could be scientifically called an epidemic in a few years. This video reminds us that we can do something about. Life is hard. We don't need to make it harder.</p> <p>I learned this lesson very early on in college. A friend and I had an interaction with a campus police officer who was an absolute jerk. We had asked him a question on something. Unfortunately for the officer, my friend's dad was the campus police chief. Fortunately for the officer, the chief was a wonderful man. The chief called me to apologize. He then asked me what I thought might cause that kind of behavior. Anyway, it turned out that the officers young wife was dying of brain cancer and he had young children and so on. He wanted to be with his wife more but they needed the money so he was working extra shifts . It is as if it happended yesterday and it has been 30 years. Whoever that woman was, I carry her with me because of her I learned one of the greatest lessons in life. Our question was minuscule compared to his life, no wonder he was annoyed. And sometimes it is ourselves that we must not judge !</p> <p>What an uplifting message !</p> <p>FWIW, I take great solace and have deep gratitude that I have access to everything that I need to deal with things. Maybe not always the time .....I also realize that many people don't have that, but I do. It is humbling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1134844 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 04:38:15 +0000 Anonymous 1134844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great message and probably should be viewed daily until it really sinks in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1134749 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 02:22:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1134749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Simple awareness"...love it.

Greg sent me the link. I agreed with him that the message in the video is&nbsp;one of the most important life messages of them all. </p> <p><i>Adjusting the way we think about things and people is in our control</i> - be more self aware and less self absorbed. (For example, the universe does not revolve around me when I am impatient standing in <i>any</i> queue. I need to suck it up and be calm about it). Loose the judgement,&nbsp;and do not assume you know the reasons behind a person's behaviour and actions. Give them the benefit of the doubt first. When we&nbsp;choose to think of things a certain way - we can be calmer and&nbsp;happier. And finding this state of calm and happy is a life goal for us all. Good for the people around us AND good for you. It's a win-win thing. (I'm preaching this to myself, btw. Not you).&nbsp;</p> <p>I have been feeling a sense of calm come over me since the start of the New Year. It's excellent timing after much grieving and negative energy for 3.5 years.&nbsp;</p> <p>High five, Inge and Caro. Exactly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Janet, like most things in life - practice makes perfect. Each time I fail at being emotionally intelligent, I know I can start again the next day. And hope I do a better job.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1134608 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:37:24 +0000 Parsley 1134608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's wonderful, Angie!&nbsp;<br />Definitely food for thought- thanks so much for sharing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/take-10-mins-of-your-time-to-watch-this#post-1134576 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:48:47 +0000 kellygirl 1134576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved this!
