The one thing that will give you total power

A few months ago I came across the below video by PBS, a remix on lessons by Bob Ross.  I used to love Bob Ross when I was a child growing up in the Dominican Republic. I used to oil paint quite a bit back then and found Bob Ross to be a great inspiration.  Now, I cannot stop watching this remix video! It is incredibly inspiring and also includes the number one thing we can do to have total power in our lives: Believe that we are the creators of our destiny.  Here are my favorite lines in the video:

Watch this wonderful Bob Ross video now!  

“I believe, I believe, every day is a good day when you paint.” JD: Creativity is so important to cultivate.  It might not be painting, but how do you do something creative each day today?

“I believe, I believe, it will bring a lot good thoughts to your heart.” JD: The #1 reason why creativity is great?  What it does to your mind, spirit, and body (especially your wonderful heart in your body!).

“There are no limits here, start out by believing here (Bob Ross points to his head).” JD: First believe in your mind that you can, visualize it, and there will be no limits!! (I recently wrote a post on this that was really popular with all of you, take a look at it by clicking here).

“You can almost paint with anything, all you have to do is practice.” JD: Practice makes perfect.  Every day, overcoming the naysayers in our lives (either in our heads or in person), believing in our vision, and practicing. 

“This is your world, you’re the creator, find freedom on this canvas.” JD: If you see life as a blank canvas, you start with a fresh day every single day, where you can make new decisions.  Better decisions.  You just have to decide that this is your world, and that you are the creator, and you will find the freedom you need to create the vision you have for yourself into reality. 

“Believe that you can do it, because you can do it.” JD: Unless we believe that we could do it, that there could be an opportunity, and we give ourselves the chance, we cannot step into our power. 

“Relax, let it flow, think like water. Relax, let it flow, you can go on and on and on.” JD: When you go and grab a rose, we are careful and hold it delicately so we don’t get pricked by the thorns.  Same thing when we are creating.  You can’t hold so tightly to your decisions and attempt to control everything.  Mostly because you will not be able to, but most importantly because when we are in a relaxed state, our creativity, skills, and gifts can flow out of us like water.

“We don’t mistakes; just happy accidents.” JD: If we could just look at all of our mistakes in that way.  We get so defeated and negative when we make a “mistake”, but what about seeing it as an event that gives us information to learn from?

“You can do anything you want to do, total power.” JD: When you believe your vision in your mind and you can visualize it, you will have total power.
