We believe in the power of stories.  We also believe that a good message is like water.  Everyone has a use for it, and they use it in their own way.  Some people bathe in it, some drink it, and some use it for transportation.

 

Our messages are simple, so they can be applied in the lives of young people, and adults, from all different backgrounds.  Here are a few of the messages that we present to young people.  The stories and examples that follow - in a live presentation - are selected to fit the audience.

 

This is not a complete list, but a small sample of topics covered in our presentations.

“We have a warped sense of reality.”

 

Every day we are surrounded by negative images and media.  These images can be confusing to young people if they do not understand the difference between make-believe and reality.

 

“You are all leaders.”

 

A leader is a person who can make his/her own decisions, despite the pressure from the crowd.

 

“Emotion is contagious.”

 

We pick-up on the moods of one another.  These moods, whether good or bad, spread quickly.  It is up to you what mood you decide to project.

 

A Few Simple Messages

 

“Life is Fragile.”

 

 

 

“If it is to be,

it is up to me.”

 

 

 

“There is more to life than increasing its speed.”

 

 

 

“Help yourself.”

 

You must help yourself before you can take care of others.  It’s simple.  If you give too much to others in need then you drain yourself and become the one in need.

 

“The good you do will come back to you.”

 

 

 

“Sunshine is the best disinfectant.”
