IF you're a regular recipient of the excellent short videos produced by the team at Flickspire.com, you'll now they're always inspiring, uplifting and refreshing.

Learn to 'Dance in the Rain'

And the one you can access via the link below - entitled 'Learning to Dance in the Rain' - is no different. It features a lovely poem called 'Weather Report' by BJ Gallagher and is all about the power of gratitude.

As you read this, you're maybe rolling your eyes and whispering, "Oh, not that again," to yourself. And who could honestly blame you?

We live in a cynical world, after all, and if you're interested in personal development to any extent, you'll have heard this message many times before. Yet it's one that's always worth remembering and trying again.

Whenever you do stop to 'count your blessings' - as they called it before the 'Law of Attraction', manifestation, abundance and so on became popular - your outlook automatically changes.

You tend to feel lighter, happier and more positive as you realize there's much your life to be glad about and even more to look forward to as your spirit lifts.

So do yourself a favor and suspend your cynicism for a couple of minutes and click on the link below, which will take you to the original recording.

You'll feel a whole lot better for doing so, I'm absolutely certain.

A Stunning Film on the Power of Gratitude

Post by John Lee

IT'S often been said that 'living a life of gratitude' is the ideal way to achieve true happiness.

Yet even the most cursory glance at the newspapers or TV news can leave you feeling there's little to be grateful for. 

Louie Schwartzberg's stunning, 'Moving Art'

Well, this sense of resignation or even hopelessness is turned completely on its head by the beautiful movie you can access below.

It features a talk by US director, producer and cinematographer, Louie Schwartzberg, at TED in San Francisco.

He introduces his film, 'Moving Art', which includes some truly brilliant time-lapse photography, along with some wonderfully wise words from both a small child and an elderly man.

If you've ever doubted that there's much to be grateful for in our world - especially for those of us fortunate enough to live without conflict and abject suffering - then you really need to see this.

Visually stunning, it's equally uplifting, encouraging and even inspiring as it reminds us of the wonder of nature and the little things we can all do to make life better for everyone.

It's also a perfect antidote to any downbeat TV news.
