THE GREATEST QUOTES OF ALL TIME
When looking through history to find motivation and inspiration there's a wealth of material to draw from which made creating this video no easy task. My goal when selecting these quotes for narration was to choose the ones that had the biggest impact on me in the hope that they have a similar effect on you.
Your list might be different and its been great to see your favourite quotes in the comments. As we look back though history there's no denying that people faced extremely challenging times. Its filled with periods of incredible adversity in which some individuals managed to thrive in spite of. It's no wonder words of encouragement from history are not difficult to find. It never ceases to amaze me how applicable these are to the challenges we face today.
We all face hardship in life but It's how we choose to respond to it that counts. I hope this video has at least one quote that speaks to you and your current situation. We forget how closely related we all are. It's often the case that the problems we believe are most personal to us are the ones that are the most commonly shared. We are not alone in this journey.
Thanks for watching

Think Happy Thoughts (Powerful Life Poetry)
Read by Shane Morris
Written by Edgar Albert Guest

Full Poem:
Think happy thoughts!
Think sunshine all the day;
Refuse to let the trifling worries stay,
Crowd them with thoughts of laughter from your mind.
Think of the good, forget the bad you find,
Think of the sun behind the clouds; the blue
And not the grey skies that you view.
Think of the kindness not the meanness shown,
The true friends not the false ones you have known;
The joy and not the hatred of the strife,
The sweetness not the bitterness of life.
Think happy thoughts!
Think happy thoughts!
Think always of the best,
Think of the ones you love, not those that you detest;
Think of your victories and not your failures here,
The smile that pleased and not the hurtful sneer,
The kindly word and not the harsh word spoken,
The promise kept and not the promise broken;
The good that you have known and not the bad,
The happy days that were and not the sad;
Think of the rose and not the withered flower,
The beauty of the rainbow, not the shower.
Think happy thoughts!
Think happy thoughts!
This is true happiness!
That life is sad that feeds on its distress;
That mind is gloomy that subsists on gloom,
And is as dismal as a curtained room,
Where daily comes the sunshine, but to find
It cannot enter through the close-drawn blind.
Fling up the curtains of your mind today
And let the morning sunshine in to play;
Dwell on the joys and not the sorrows here,
Master your thoughts and you have mastered fear.
Think happy thoughts.

Advice from an Old King Before You Inherit the Throne
After reading Robert Greene's "48 Laws of Power" and a few other books on the subject, I decided to incorporate what I learned into this video and have the lessons spoken through the character of an old king. I hope this provides a fun and entertaining way to learn some of the universal concepts of power and how to rule over your chosen domain.
