Validation is a wonderful short film – I encourage you to set aside the 16+ minutes it takes to watch – it will make you smile. Unfortunately, I have had trouble getting YouTube to embed the actual video on my blog, so you may have to click the link and go to YouTube.

The film illustrates a message I share with young people, including my own sons, that:

“you will either influence people or they will influence you – there is no in between. So seek to be a positive influence on everyone you meet, and keep company only with those who will positively influence you. If you can’t influence them, and they are negative, then walk away.”

You are great. You are awsome. You have a beautiful smile. Spread it around. Feel better?

Some of you are familiar with my goal to have 5 positive recordable interactions each day, so let me know what you think; better yet, let me know how this made you feel.

Feel better by being better.
