Celebrate what is right with this world

Was watching this videoclip with the abovementioned title by this guy called Dewitt Jones. He's a freelance photographer with National Geographic. Actually wanted to put his photos, but dunno if got copyright implications. But yeah... here's the web link www.dewittjones.com

I saw this 22min long videoclip in my course in SAFTI. As the name implies, it's about positive thinking. There's really not much content and most of his material are actually about his photography. But i tot it was q motivating and there's one line.

"If you believe, you'll see it."

I felt quite amazed to hear this statement. Esp at SAFTI. The course is a military one, not one that is dedicated to self-help. The instructor is a lieutenant colonel, not a civilian. So, I was rather pleasantly surprised to hear such things. In the past, such self-help things are done with lacklustre and are really done for the sake of doing. Today, (or the past two days) it just felt different. Instructors are more committed to it and the students are more receptive. As I commented, this was the one day that I've witnessed so much positiveness amongst junior officers.

Another thing that struck me was that how these postive things keep coming to me ever since I accepted Nichiren Buddhism/started chanting. Four years ago, my midshipman (OCS) course was never conducted in such a manner. The atmosphere of learning was never so relaxing and so conducive. But somehow, when one takes up faith and believe in it, the environment will set its course. This is indeed what one calls oneness of self and environment.
