So, I saw this movie…16 minutes…I don’t have time for that… And yet, something was drawing me to at least watching a couple of minutes. In fact, I thought, maybe I could multitask – do something else while the movie was playing. And what happened…the movie drew me in. Completely. This has been the best 16 minutes of my day! And, I focused completely on this the whole time. And why? The message! What an awesome message, in fact – I was starting to get tears in my eyes by the end – we ‘he’ was validated – it was beautiful!

Evelyn, and Christopher – thank you, so much, for sharing this! I have been touched in ways I didn’t think would happen, by the emotions of just making someone feel ‘good’! You, both, are amazing! I find so much light radiating from this post today, what an uplifting presence you both are in our world today!

Hello Gemma,

Thanks for being so warm in your compliments! You’re awesome too!

Love,
Evelyn

Hello Lance,

Same here. I was thinking I didn’t have the time to watch a movie. But if a great friend like Christopher is to recommend a show to me, it has to be something! And it is!!

I’m glad that you like the show! My kids love it too! It’s a simple but very powerful message, and presented in such an entertaining way!

Love & light,
Evelyn

Wow, what a cool video! Thanks for sharing it Evelyn!

You are wonderful! Thank you so much for this. I’m going to dedicate the rest of my day to acknowledging others!

I got all of that after watching only 2:17 minutes in.

I’ll be back later for sure.

Me cynical? I’m shocked to read such a thing 😉

Great video and it made me smile.

BTW, I am almost ALWAYS smiling when I’m being cynical. I just love to stir the pot!

Hi Evelyn,

Thank You and Thank You Christopher for bringing love into my day, You are both awesome! The gratitude and warm tingly feeling that grew in my body as I was watching – you are amazing! Again, Thank you for sharing such a beautiful message.

When I go to the store I (most of the time) make a positive comment to the cashier. Now I’ll keep this short movie in mind and do it more often, because it is true, it makes you smile.

Wishing All of You a Day filled with Love and Smiles.

That was a great way to begin the work week! Awesome, indeed! It touches the heart and mind on an amazingly deep level. Thanks for sharing it with us, and I’ll pass it on to keep the validation going.

Good morning Evelyn!

What a wonderful morning Im having because of you!…Thank you!……I wasn’t only smiling I was actually crying and laughing =D.
I love sooo much being alive!!…….
Love & Light for you Evelyn!

Kiki…

Hey Evelyn,

I posted that video on my blog too. It is really fantastic and I was so touched at the end of the video.

I can’t believe you just made me watch a 16-minute video!

You, Evelyn, are AMAZING.

🙂

Hi Evelyn

What a wonderful way to say thank you to us all.
Thank you back for all your efforts and sharing.

Hi Evelyn

First off is it not amazing what our readers bring to us, I am so grateful for what they do in every single email or comment and what our fellow bloggers bring to us to – so this is my way of saying thank you too!!!!

As for the video I had a little bit of a hard time watching it as it kept flickering (not sure if it was my computer?) but I got the point very quickly… indeed validation is a powerful tool and each day each moment we can validate ourselves and others and add to the amazing collective consciousness of being.

As for the LOA, what a great tie in here too. Indeed we can only recieve that which we are capable of giving. Great post!

Hi Evelyn: It’s definitely one of those videos that you need to bookmark for when you need a pick me up 🙂 This is in line with the findings published the week before last that our happiness is contagious and affects others. I accept your validation and send validation to you in return 🙂

I sent this video to my mailing list last week, and some people wrote back to say they loved it. Like some people said, I was surprised to find that something could hold my attention for a full 16 minutes! Isn’t it great?

And Evelyn, YOU are GREAT. You have amazing cheekbones, did you know that?

Hi Evelyn. Thank you — I’ll accept your validation! This was well worth the 16 minutes. YOU are brilliant!!! No, really 🙂

Evelyn, I wasn’t expecting you to share this video, but I’m glad you did, and judging from the reader response, I’d have to say your readers have been genuinely moved. I also appreciate the warm-hearted replies from some of your readers for my own very modest contribution.

And thank you for being here for us, Evelyn, beautiful soul that you are, for sharing your insights, for taking the time to be who you are, for validating us sincerely and warmly week after week after week. You inspire us more than you know. You are awesome.

It’s a wonderful feeling to bask in the glow of sincere validation – and then share it with others before it …

Basking in the glow,
Christopher

Nice find Evelyn! You’re right – I couldn’t resist tapping along to the beat and smiling as the guy got “validated”.

Congrats on all the success, Evelyn. Thank you for the validation, you are awesome as well! 🙂

Hey Evelyn! Thanks a lot for sharing the video – I can’t believe I watched the whole 14 minutes of it! (minus the credits) it definitely made me smile alright!! A simple message brought out in such a beautiful manner!

By the way, I’m a Singaporean as well and I happened to chance by your blog yesterday. Will definitely subscribe to your feed and check back regularly! 🙂

Free compliments. I like that.

It’s a great reminder of the Pygmalion effect – you get what you expect.

Thank you Evelyn for this movie. Maybe one day a smile will unleash a reaction that will go through the whole world.

@Al, glad that you like it!

@Tom, yes…do come back to watch the video. Well worth the time!

@Tim, I recall seeing your smiley pictures now. You do have a very winning smile!!

@Mary, it’s nice that you are spreading smiles around! You’re awesome!

@SpaceAgeSage, I’d have to agree that watching the video is a great way to start the week! Pass the smiles around!

@Kiki, I’m glad that you like the video!

@Vincent, how coincidental!

@Vered, wouldn’t you agree that the 15 mins is well worth the time spent 🙂 ?

@Juliet, you are most welcome!! And thank you for being so awesome!

@Evita, I definitely find myself very appreciative of all the support I get for this site. Most certainly, we can do more to validate each other and spread the love around!

@Marelisa, yes…the video deserves to be bookmarked!! Thanks for validating me 🙂

@Hunter, this video must be spreading like wildfire!! High cheekbones? I’d take that to be a compliment…thanks!

@Davina, thanks for being so sweet!! You are awesome!

@Christopher, I appreciate your thoughtful comments on my blog and sending me messages that help spark a number of posts here! You deserve every bit of validation!! You’ve been a fantastic friend!!

@Peter, I became addicted to the beat and had to watch the video a few times over…LOL!! Glad that you like the video!!

@Conrad, thank you for your sincere encouragement!

@Celes, how nice…another Singaporean!! I don’t get to read the blogs of that many Singaporeans…not at least in the area of personal development. I wish you every success in yours!

@J.D. Meier, glad that you like the idea of the free compliments too!!

@George, maybe such a day has already come. There are a number of videos, this including, that bring smiles to people from all over the world!! Those that watch them are also likely to spread their smiles to their friends and family.

Hi Evelyn – Like the others I wondered about a 16 minute video, but you’ve never steered me wrong before, so I made time to watch it. Boy, am I glad I did. The message is phenomenal, just as you are. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful find, and thank you to Christopher, too.

Hi Evelyn – cool video. I think it’s great to make other feel good. But I also think it’s sad that we need feedback from others to have confidence in ourselves.

I don’t get why people think Tim Brownson is cynical though. I just think he is really funny – but he sees a lot of things for what they are.

Some folk slated his recent guest post on Social Media, that he did on my blog and accused him on being negative re social media. He wasn’t being negative at all. He was merely stating what he observed and writing a funny story about it.

And it was funny – there’s heaps of gurus on Twitter, who constantly peddle their marketing products on there. But none of them had the sense to pounce on an opportunity when they saw it – so they can’t be so great at marketing after all.

I think cultural barriers create a lot of misunderstandings online. A lot of us speak English but we don’t all speak the same language.

Of course, in Singapore we can use a variety of languages to validate. However, this being a dominant English language blog, I shall keep it simple and say “your’ awesome!” 😀

Hi Evelyn,

I loved the video so much that I forwarded it to my wife and all of my friends. Can I just say that you are gorgeous? Look at you. Your eyes…they’re just gorgeous!

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing…

Isn’t everyone seeking validation? I know I am.

@Barbara, thanks for trusting me. Glad you enjoyed watching the video!!

@Cath, I didn’t mean cynical to be a negative description. I made my observation based on his confession here that he is a pessimist. You are right to say that he is very observant and says things as they are, sometimes to the point of being direct. I couldn’t think of a good word to describe all of that. In my haste, I published my post. My oversight and apologies!

In case you are wondering, I have the deepest respect for Tim. I wouldn’t be visiting his site, commenting, stumbling or digging his requests otherwise.

Of course, it is best that we do not derive our sense of self worth from what others say. Still, there is no denying that our environment can play a big part in the confidence and positive energy that we exude. Take kids for instance. If they are constantly faced with remarks like “you are stupid” or “you are useless”, they will grow up not having self confidence.

@Daniel, you are awesome too! Thanks for being such a great friend!

@Steve, hahaha…you are very kind in your comments!! You are awesome too!!

@Matthew, you are Awesome and Fantastic!!!

Evelyn, Christopher – this is truly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched! This video is just so “Christopher” … always supportive, always validating, always an awesome friend. Heck, I can even imagine Christopher’s face (with the shades) over the main character in the video, hehehe.

I’m very honored to have known both of you. 🙂

Irene,

Welcome home!!! I’m so glad that you found the time to watch this video even whilst having a ton of emails to clear.

You’re right about the video being so “Christopher”!! He’d be happy to read what you said.

Thanks for being such a great friend!! It’s been an amazing year for me. I got to know both of you!! I can’t stop SMILING at how lucky I am!

Love,
Evelyn

This post is really great Evelyn! The best video I’ve seen this week. Thank you for posting this. Now I’m off to Validate some people.

Well, you have a great blog. Thanks for the work you put into it. Happy Holidays!

I loved it!!! so great! This really brought me to tears too but only because of the message it sent! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

@chris, I am delighted that watching the video is sending you off to validate others!! You’ve made my day! Good for you!!

@Pentad, you are most kind in your comments. I do the best I can. You have a wonderful Christmas!! Blessings to you and your family!

@Brujita, you are most welcome. Thanks for letting me know that the video touched you. Have an awesome day!!

this is the only time of year that we look backward and forward at the same time! we think about our life and where we are in our growth, in our happiness, in our family, our financial achievements, spiritual balance….but do we ever plan our life?? i mean really create a plan and follow it?? we all followed a plan for school, for buying a car, for going on a trip, there is a method we follow to succeed in the areas of our life that are important to us, so why don’t we plan the most important most obvious reason we are here…which is OUR LIFE!!! we just randomly blunder through each day without a clear path to get to where we want to go…check out this ebook, i am giving it to family & friends for the new year, titled designing best year ever http://www.successonlinetools.com/bestyearever/

LOL Evelyn – I know you like Tim. It’s just that he writes amazingly funny things sometimes. And I wish folk from different countries could benefit from his humor as much as I do.

I see what you mean about making negative remarks to kids. It has a huge impact on their lives. And doing what the guy in the video was doing has a positive effect.

This video was amazing! It shows how powerfully we can move other people into happiness with a few kind words. It shows how far reaching our own validation extended to others really is. We directly affect one (or many) who affect another and so on, and so on, and… Thank you for sharing this.

I too, thought I did not have time to watch a 16 minute film and found myself glued to the screen.

As well, I too got teary at the end when he was validated. We all need to be validated… We should be able to do it ourselves, but that’s not how it works all the time.

People just don’t take the time! It’s a human need to feel important, like someone cares!

Thank You for making the film and I will thank the person who sent me here to watch it. I will share it too!

Happy Holidays.

Roz Fruchtman

Thank you so much for validating my similar thoughts by posting this beautiful video and this blog!

This movie was awesome with more twists and turns than I expected.

Thanks for sharing it with us. One lesson learned: practice what you preach.

@sjack, personally I have given up on making detailed plans myself. I set the general direction but let events unfold for me so that the next step is revealed to me at each choicepoint. I start out by making an intention to my guides/The Universe and as things get clearer to me, I let it be known more specifically that a certain direction is the way I want to go.

Still, I’d agree that having some sort of a plan or general direction is necessary. You’re right to say that a lot of people tend to blunder through life. There are no guiding principles. They usually end up unmotivated and uninspired.

@Cath, I believe that each blogger has his/her own appeal and therefore, attract the audience profile suited to the style of writing. In my case, the country mix of my readers is only relevant to me if I want to do more target marketing. I’m sure that Tim will naturally attract the group of audience that will enjoy his humor, irrespective of where they come from.

@Janie, I love the video too!! It is a wonderful reminder for me to use more positive affirmations on others in the New Year!

@Roz, I’m so glad that you sat through all 16 minutes of the video. You are awesome for just doing that!! The video has a great message to share and I am glad that you benefited from it.

@lauren, you are most welcome! I’m happy that you enjoyed the video.

@Flora, yes yes yes to “practice what you preach”. I’m learning that I have to do more of this myself!! Thanks for the reminder!
