I found this article on my Facebook feed this morning and thought I’d pass it along to you.
“15 Things That Emotionally Strong People Don’t Do,” by Paul Hudson, is a quick look at some of the “habits” we should have to remain strong. And if we don’t have them, they’re easy enough to implement.

[Esta película está disponible en varios idiomas; Ce film est disponible en plusieurs langues]
I stumbled upon the film Inner Worlds Outer Worlds (by Daniel Schmidt) on Youtube. It’s new to me, perhaps to you as well.
It’s an incredible piece, professionally done (with beautiful music), and freely available to everyone.
What’s it about?

Even though I don’t have a television or subscribe to cable or any other entertainment site, I do occasionally watch movies from my DVD or digital collection.
I get in a zone when I watch a movie. I can block out the world around me. I pay particular attention to every nuance, background scene, clothing, body language, sets, and, of course, the words of the characters.

Believe and act, as if it were impossible to fail.
— Charles F. Kettering
On the surface, one might think this is about work or doing something external to our inner selves (‘act’ as in ‘do some task’). But the quote holds true even for our internal endeavors. Another way of looking at it is, “believe and behave, as if it were impossible to fail.”
Or as Gene Kranz famously said, “failure is not an option.”

From The Ideal Made Real
By Christian D. Larson
“In the rebuilding of your own world one of the principal causes of failure will be found in a tendency to change your plans, motives or desires; therefore, do not permit yourself to entertain one group of desires today and a different group tomorrow, and do not permit your faith to fall into periodical states of doubt. Decide upon what you wish to do, accomplish, promote and attain, and proceed to live, think and work for those things, regardless of what may happen.”
Grab the book (free): Various formats from Achive.org*
* The PDF is cleaner (it’s the actual photos of the pages) than the ebook versions.

I saw a WestJet Christmas commercial. The setup was a prank, the results were real. It was, in short, perfectly executed.
What hit home with me was the blooper reel. There is one young lady who, when asked what she wanted, said a pair of warm socks (I can relate, my feet are always cold in winter).

Like so many other people, I have a list of words that I try very hard not to use. For the most part, they’re easy to avoid. One word that takes more concentration than others on my list is “hope.” *
I’ve looked for synonyms, but none really satisfy the requirements of this single, simple word. So, I fall back on the good ole’ standby, “trust.” As in, “I trust you had a good time.”
