Wow! This is amazing: Picturing Excess by Chris Jordon

I watched this video and it really made an powerful impact on me and I had to share. Amazing...it just blows my mind to see and learn about this.

Here's the description:

Artist Chris Jordan shows us a surprising view of Western culture, in this energizing look at numbers so big, we simply don't (or can't) think about them. His supersized images picture unimaginable statistics -- like the astonishing number of paper cups we use every single day. (Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 11:14.)

Free Hug Campaign.

Two years ago I watched this "Free Hug Campaign" video and it really moved me. Currently, over 31 million people have viewed this video. I find that amazing and to me - it's definitely on my Create Positive Impact list.

What are you doing to create a positive impact?

Made up of thousands of others...

There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.

George Matthew Adams

No Man is an Island.

No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

John Donne, Meditation XVII
