Head Space Newsletter: November 9, 2016

I want to make sure to post each when the Head Space Newsletter goes. Here's a letter about the newsletter: Intro To Head Space Newsletter

You can check out today's newsletter, A Little Rain, right here. Here's the content from the newsletter today:

A Little Rain

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and if possible, speak a few sensible words.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Hear: Can't Stop The Feeling! by Just Timberlake

Read: Life by Charlotte Bronte

Life, believe, is not a dream
so dark as sages say; 
oft a little morning rain
foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
but these are transient all;
if the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall? 
Rapidly, merrily, 
life's sunny hours flit by,
gratefully, cheerily
enjoy them as they fly!
What though Death at times step in,
and calls our Best away?
What though sorrow seems to win,
o'er hope, a heavy sway?
Yet Hope again elastic springs,
unconquered, though she fell; 
still buoyant are her golden wings,
still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
the day of trial bear,
for gloriously, victoriously,
can courage quell despair!

Speak: We have to believe that our future is not in the hand of man. We have to decide that our actions are going to be different, even when it isn't popular, even when it's scary. We, very truthfully, cannot make change by looking like everyone else. How will you stand out? What about you will make someone want to do different? We'll make the change we want, my friends. I choose love, even when I don't understand you. I choose love, even when you don't understand me. Choose happy. Choose change. So let's dance and keep moving forward. 

Laugh: I'm going to have to fire you. 

With Love,
