The song you will hear recently brought tears to everyone’s eyes on Korea’s Got Talent. Sung-bong Choi was a sad young man who called himself a ‘manual worker’ living on his own since he was 5yrs old. He represents Living in Courage in many ways, and stories like these always tug at our heartstrings.
This amazing young man has become an overnight sensation, and will no longer be living on the streets. The judges cried, the audience cried, I cried and you will too! Prepare to be blown away by this beautiful voice.
My good friend David Culiner is a true spirit of Courage, who follows no one but himself. A true Authentic. David owns and runs “Love This Life.” Do yourself a favor – visit his website for a taste of his hypnotic music and check out the clothing line. I can say that all the favorite t-shirts my husband Cody and I wear, (sweat shop free) are from Love This Life. David has quite a following – Angelina Jolie, Hallie Berry, Bruce Willis, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock, Willie Nelson and Sting, just to name a few. Many of David’s clothing designs include the Love This Life Manifesto. People stop me over the years and ask about it, read it, and want to know where to buy Love This Life items. Now it is time for The Manifesto:
LovethisLife…
is about celebrating the moment
and that we’re not guaranteed or owed another day
and how cool it is that what we hide
can actually be the fuel towards our glory
and that it’s not so bad being proven wrong
LovethisLife…
is about welcoming the blind turn
and the possibility that
there’s no such thing as coincidence
and that empathy is incredibly sexy
and that it’s never too late to
pick up a quitar or a paintbrush
or to make an amend or to make a new friend
LovethisLive…
could be about rekindling a past flame
or igniting a new one
or shape shifting from a dreamer into a doer
or savoring the caress of a love long gone
LovethisLife…
means whatever it is
you want it to mean because
LovethisLife…
is a celebration of you and your path
LovethisLife…
‘cuz it could go at any second
you rock

I end with a powerful question David asks that requires courage to answer:
How are you spending your irretrievable nonrefundable allotment of immeasurable time?
