A Pep Talk

So, there I was.  Studying cramming for my Abnormal Psych midterm when suddenly on the google doc there was a link to this video.  Some good soul had helped us have a study break.

Guys, I loved this!  Maybe it is because it is almost one in the morning, but I want to BE this kid!  I want to help others reach their potential!

Here are some of my thoughts:

Do I take the time to reach out to others?  To give them the pep talk that they need?  To give one to myself?

Am I stuck in boring?  or am I really "gooder than that"?

Which path are you taking in life?  Are you choosing the best path for you? Even when that path is lined with rocks, sticks and even glass?

Do we take the time to see what our potential for awesome is?  We have so much that we can bring to this world, but do we realize that?  Do we take time to dance?

I love the cinematography of this video, the lighting and the different camera angles that they use.  I feel like this really helps to bring in the message that is being shared.

For me, media is about more than the message.  It reaches beyond that and in to how you share that message.  Are we limiting our viewing experiences because we only "like" one type of media?  Are we taking the time to explore new genres, to see new places and spaces, to listen to new artists and to read what different authors have to say?

Sometimes we have to break out of what we are used to and find something fantastic.  That is what I found with this kid...Kid President to be exact.  Who would have thought that a little boy would have so much to teach us all.

Now go be awesome.
