The Dash

In July 2006, a short 3-minute movie was launched on the Internet called The Dash. Since then, over 40 million people from around the world have watched it; and over 20,000 a day continue to watch it as a result of people passing it along.

This movie has been more successful than ever imagined by its creator. More importantly, however, it has inspired many, many people to reflect on their lives and ask that all important question, 'Are my priorities where they should be?'

I hope you enjoy this movie and share it with those who are close to you, I did.

This is very inspirational. What will you do with your dash?

Thanks Craig for sharing that. And you know what? I think my dash will be mighty fine, cos I spend most of my life making it that way. And you know what else? Your dash is going to be simply superb. It is not difficult to make a difference in this world, it simply takes a measure of truthfulness, a bottle of honesty, and a lifetime of compassion.

You do that for the world Craig, you do that for your friends, and once again I will repeat what I have said many times before..... I am simply honoured to know you!

Thanks dear friend xx

You are very gracious Lynn, I have little more to offer you than a heart full of gratitude. Your friendship means a great deal to me.

My dash may be slow, but sure. I try to live by these :

“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”
- Orison Swett Marden


“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
- Winston Churchill quotes

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Craig, your dash is simply breathtaking! More power and success to you. And money too!

Hi Folks,

'The Dash' holds special meaning for me today. May 16 is the two year anniversary of my mother's passing and I'm thinking about her dash today. I think about her and her dash every single day. Althoughb, It's a bit of a struggle today, because I am really missing her. So I just popped in here to get a 'recharge'. Thanks to Craig, Lynn, V2T and Mary2, I feel uplifted. Keep the positive energy coming everyone - words are powerful, they can build and lift. Have a wonderful day.

Just finished lunch and thought of turning my computer off, when a thought came to check "the blog" once more. Yes, I've visited twice today!

Thank you all for your kind comments about me. I am glad to know I am contributing a little to the goodness that's in here.

LisC, I wish I can say "I know how you feel", but I can't. Both of my parents are still living though they're in their twilight years. Their respective dashes are exceptionally worthy of emulation, and I don't think I could have done it any better if it was me walking in their shoes.

This I can say though, that your dash and mine will be made a little sweeter and lighter because our dear departed loved ones will be rallying behind us and giving us that " forward push" we need sometimes as we reflect on their examples. Anyway, this is just my personal belief .

Have an uplifting day everyone.

Thanks for reaching out Mary2. It was really kind and thoughtful of you. I'm with you on that personal belief of yours. I believe in a life after this one and I believe our loved ones who have gone ahead are very mindful of us.
You are a gem! thank you again, LisC
