					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>It&#8217;s Another Video!</h3>
<p>You may have seen the video on today&#8217;s post on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.  It has been viewed over 270,000 times.  But in case you haven&#8217;t, I thought it would be inspiring for you to see it.  The video reminds me of a number of posts about possibilities and solutions I have put on this blog.</p>
<p>I think this video is inspiring for more reasons than just Kyle attaining his goal.  There are two very important things that caught my attention.  I&#8217;ll mention those below the video player so that I don&#8217;t spoil it for you.  It&#8217;s short, about 8:22.</p>
<p>Enjoy the video.</p>
<p>[If you cannot see the player below, just click the title above]<br />

<p>There are two things that really impressed me in this video.  First, Kyle did not seem pressured or under stress trying to attain his goal.  I know we can&#8217;t see video of him every day during those months, but in what you can see, he seems to be very light hearted.</p>
<p>Secondly, you can see his genuine joy in someone else getting an item that they really wanted.  He was concerned with others being happy, not just reaching his own goal.</p>
<p>Contributing to other people&#8217;s happiness, and, living your life without fear of something going wrong, are two very good qualities of living life the right way.  I don&#8217;t know if Kyle is a praying man, or even if he is a Christian, but look what he did.</p>
<p>For those who have given up on their dreams, or, for those who feel that because of the current economy there are no solutions, think again.  What are the possibilities for your life as a Christian with God being your Father?</p>
<p>There are solutions, and, there are endless possibilities.</p>
