This is just a video I made for fun so that I will never forget the experiences and fun times we had driving out to Las Vegas to attend the SuperZoo show earlier this year. I made it for my wife and daughters. So that decades from now we can watch it together and relive the fond memories one more time. :-) I learned so many lessons on this trip - especially the drive back home. Because of a series of unexpected circumstances, my wife and daughters flew back home while I drove our broken-down car across the country - only able to go 35 mph most of the way! It took me 4 days to get back to home to Georgia... and it was the longest 4 days of my life! I literally almost died a couple of times on the way back. It made me take a long pause, and reflect on my life up to this point. I asked myself, "if I really did die today would my life up till now be something that I could be proud of?" I think so. When I leave this world behind, I hope that I am able to say that I'm leaving it a little better than when I arrived. "Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity." Horace Mann I believe that the feeling of peace that I felt - knowing that my life could very well have ended on that trip back home - came over me because of all that I've done to try to make a positive impact on the lives of others. The books, and blog articles that I've written, the videos I've made, and the many private conversations I've been blessed to have with people from all around the world! It's not because I'm special, but because I can see how special we all are!! "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." – Albert Pike No matter how difficult the journey, or how intimidating the path may be, "Never Give Up! Never, never, never give up!" Winston Churchhill Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and like Winston Churchill says, keep "going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." That's how he defines "Success." It will all be worth it - I promise!! Just like all storms, problems don't come to stay - they come to pass. As you will see in this video, there is always a rainbow at the end of the storm. Just keep going, and never ever give up! :-) "I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one another. And I know for sure that there is no them – there’s only us." – Oprah Winfrey Music Credits: About that Oldie by Vibe Tracks Faith by Vibe Tracks (Available for free download on the YouTube Music Library)
