What is the most positive film you have watched....
HONESTLY, I love movies, but I don’t always have a lot of time to watch them because of my schedule, but I always look for ones that are uplifting and demonstrate the true power of the human spirit of what we're truly capable of in the midst of adversity, hardship, or challenge. That's probably why I'm so attracted to history or films based on true stories of real people. nothing inspires me more than the human heart. There have been so many great ones over the years. Some of my favorites are Gladiator, Scent of a Woman, and The Theory of Everything.
If you could sit down with five positive people who would they be and what qualities would they bring....
I HAVE had the privilege of sitting down with those five people already, and in some cases become good friends with them. They include Richard Branson, Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce.com), Coach John Wooden, John Grinder (the founder of neuro linguistic programming), Princess Diana, and Oprah Winfrey.
Do you get positivity from religion or spirituality....
I BELIEVE that any great thing we experience in life is a ultimately a gift from our Creator. The greatest religions call us to bring something to life. Not just to get something, but to give to our fellow brothers and sisters, to grow personally, expand our identity, and to feel the deep connection and appreciation with others and our creator. When you feel as if you're a part of everything that exists and you know that you are not the source of it, and that everything in life is a gift from that source, then, your connection to God or the Universe deepens and you feel more alive. You vibrate a little differently. You think differently. You’re grateful. You see the deeper meaning even in difficulties, and you experience a passion for living and giving. How do we find this? We have a direct experience. Because a belief is a poor substitute for the experience. Experiment by going to different churches, by reading different philosophies and finding what truly speaks to you personally and resonates with you. That is critical for all of us to be fulfilled. I think in order to be fulfilled we have to find where our core belief is and allow it to grow in love throughout our life.
