Kid President’s 25 Reasons To Be Thankful!

Posted by John Lee of YourBestYouEver.net and courtesy of Soulpancake

EVERYONE can benefit from 'counting their blessings' from time to time, especially when life brings challenge and struggle - as it does for all of us.

But it can be hard to truly feel thankful, despite what all the self-help and personal development gurus tell us about the power of gratitude.

Let 'Kid President' show you the way

And it doesn’t have to be anything monumental that troubles you.

Just the general ups and downs of everyday life can be enough, which is why I decided to share the video you can access below, featuring Kid President.

Something of a YouTube phenomenon since one of his earliest offerings - courtesy of the Soulpancake team and entitled, ‘A Pep Talk from Kid President to You’ - he’s always great fun.

In this video, he gives you his 25 (well 26 as it turns out) ‘Awesome Things To Be Thankful For’, which are refreshingly down-to-earth.

No hi-tech gadgets here or pie-in-the-sky ideas. Just the kind of simple and fanciful stuff that makes kids such brilliant observers of what really matters in life.

It’s only a few minutes long and is sure to make you smile. So forget what you’re doing, turn up your sound and click on the link below. I hope you enjoy it!

'The Science of Happiness - If You're Happy and You Know It' - By Soulpancake

Posted by John Lee

THE more successful you are, the happier you are. Right? Or is it, 'The happier you are, the more successful you are'?

It's probably a question many people could argue about all day long. Maybe it simply depends on your outlook on life and your personal circumstances?

Which comes first? Happiness or success?

Well never fear, because the team at Soulpancake are here to help.

In the characteristically bright, fun video below, they examine precisely this question.

The video features two groups of people, one of which is rewarded to raise their level of happiness.

Each group is then set a task, requiring a little lateral thinking, to see which copes best.

OK, it's maybe not the most scientific of experiments. But the results are rather pleasing. And as you would expect from Soulpancake, there's plenty of warmth and humor.

As for the outcome, well, you'll just have to take a look.....
