"Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives."

Tony Robbins

I’ll admit it. When I first spotted a link to this award-winning short film, it was the image of a shirtless, good looking guy that caught my attention. I made the assumption that I was in for thirteen minutes of eye candy, and some “uplifting” entertainment *winkwink*.

Au contraire, mon frere… Underneath it’s hot-and-sexy exterior, the film turned out to be a warm little gem. Filmmaker Branden Blinn’s “13 or so Minutes” has heart. And, as a gay man (who has experienced his own struggles) I found the movie delivered its message through great acting and smartly written dialogue. There is no waste, here… no noisy background music or flashy editing to keep us interested.

Instead we are left with a calmness and the renewed understanding: We are all the same. Every human wants to love and be loved. But we must love ourselves, first.

NOTE to Viewers: this film is NSFW for brief nudity, explicit language, and some sexual sounds. (Not kidding. Sounds!… athough it’s less graphic than even the most tame episode of HBO’s “Girls”)

"Each and every one of us - and that includes - YOU - is a unique soul. We have a unique gift. We are great at something. And life comes into balance and our fullest expression begins to be realized when we align with our true nature rather than being a part of the herd or rebelling against the herd.
The journey is within. When we listen to and act from that place - we are trendsetters - we are unique - we are special - and ain’t no one else like us is made.
And what’s cool is when we start to belong to ourselves and express ourselves - we put out a different frequency and, as a result, we start attracting and meeting people who are on that new wave length. And what’s so cool is in doing so, we no longer need to chase people. When we belong to ourselves, we find who else we belong to."

A lengthy—and rather awesome—quote from Mastin Kipp. (Now get your butt out there and express yourself!)

"We waste a lot of time running after people we could have caught by just standing still."

Mignon McLaughlin, American author and journalist.

"It’s very hard to solve “world peace” and much more manageable to think a peaceful thought. And guess what… world peace begins in your mind.
It’s the accumulation of many small steps that create movements, epic outcomes and grand ideas to come into manifestation."
