I almost didn’t! When I read Ken McArthur’s email and clicked to his blog post I almost passed on watching a motivational video that has to be seen by everyone – I mean it – everyone needs to watch this IMPACT-full short video.
It is that powerful!
I cried, Ken said not to blame him, but I did and told him so in my comment to his post which said….
“Ken,
Since my first contact with you at your jvAlert Live! event in Philadelphia this year you have had IMPACT in my life!
It wasn’t until half way through this movie, while blowing my nose and wiping tears from my eyes did I see the caption under the video that says “Don’t blame me if you get a tear in your eye!”
Well I do blame you! And I can’t thank you enough for your VALIDATION of me only a few months ago.
I cry when reading your book “IMPACT”. I cry when good things happen to people, especially when good things happen to me. These are all good tears and I shed them freely because they validate my true feelings.
The Validation Movie is powerful and a viral moment to be shared with everyone. So thanks again Ken!

So have you got 16 mins 23 secs to IMPACT and VALIDATE your life?
Blame me, blame Ken, but if you shed a tear – you just validated yourself as far as I am concerned!

Once again John you have managed to lift me up. The thing I admire about Ken is that he too is a Validator. The one thing the world needs more of, Validators. Think we might start a movement? Validators International??? LOL

Movies can be motivational for sure, but few individuals “Walk the Talk” like you do with your passion and desire to bring real world knowledge to Heart Failure Solutions at http://www.heartfailuresolutions.com/

Hi John:
Great post here – It was uplifting, motivating and came at a time in the day where it was a message that was definitely needed.
I have always been a friendly person too and try to make people laugh but sometimes the rude behavior of a few gets a person down. Since seeing this post and watching the trailer – No more downtime for me – If people want to be rude maybe someday they will change and see the negative effective they are having.
You my good man have helped me a lot today and it is people like you we need to get these messages from.
No different than eating good foods – we all know we should but do we? No not always.
The same with being nice and smiling – do we? No not always and the worst of all is we sometimes let others tear us down during this process.
Great message John and thanks – I agree with Michael we really should get on board and start a movement – “Validator’s International” – Great name Michael. Count me in for sure!
Smiles to all and Have a great day!

Well John,
Ok, so I broke down and said I’ll make the time to watch the video. With a smile on my face and renewed commitment to not only take time for myself but to continue to believe and support all those around, I AM VALIDATED.
Very uplifting and worthwhile 16 min and 23 sec!!

Hi John,
Consider me validated!
It is really great to see how many people we can affect with a simple little smile and some kind words.
A smile has been part of my journey since I was little boy and watched the Jerry Lewis comedy hour. He always ended the show by singing “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin. That’s when my dream was born to do Comedy to make people smile.
I have now realized this dream and have been running Germany’s first All-English Comedy Show for the past six years in Cologne and Bonn Germany. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood’s_Comedy_Nights
And besides the laughter at each show, I love to watch how emotional people get when my fiance´ Cat Chaplynn, sings the song at the end of our shows just like Jerry did.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face today and letting me feel validated.
May the “Smile” be with us and may we all take the time to validate someone else’s life each day.
Thanks for sharing such an inspiring video, I will be recommending it.
I wish you…
Cheers, Smiles, Laughter and Success,
