A little masterpiece!!! I love it and was moved by it. Every bit as professional as any video I’ve ever seen—-and better than most. Kudos to those who expressed so many qualities of God in creating this brilliant & beautiful vehicle with which to remind us all of the “wisdom of the ages”. It really makes me ponder what my life DOES revolve around—-and the point of it. I will bookmark this one and revisit it regularly because it absolutely uplifts & inspires me! THANK YOU to the gifted creators of this captivating, touching, & thought-provoking piece of art with such a noble motive. You’ve given all who experience your art here a precious gift.

Wow! I watched the video you put together and I would love to discuss it further. I shared it with my Teacher and he said it was “cool!” Love how each situation we are in is about the choices we make and Where we turn to when we are trying to make the right choice according to God’s plan.
Hope to hear from you Andres & Annelie
Beautifully done! Thank you for your artistic insight.
Is it okay if I just D-I-T-T-O every other comment above? And I do mean every single word in every single comment above!!!!!
I liked that a lot. Very well done. Thank you.
I love this. It’s compelling with a solid message. Thanks for a great piece I can and will share with others.
I love the title, The Game of Life because for most of mankind, that’s all it really is. The narrator states that while we’re in the “race to get ahead” so many are left behind. Instead of thinking of life as a “race” we need to think of it as a journey; a journey that has purpose, one that will open our eyes to new possibilities. With each step we take, there is an opportunity to do as Christ Jesus asked us to do; to replace hate with Love, strength with humility, kindness with anger. If we strive daily to achieve those things, no one is left behind. Instead, we’re all included “in one grand brotherhood.”
This piece shot an arrow straight into the heart of the thinker in me. And thoughts of service and kindness and action are pouring out. I will definitely share this. Awesome thinking, awesome art.
Staying abreast of the times! So happy a friend sent this to me. Keep up the very good work!
Brilliant video! Straight to the point and applies to everyone – thankyou so much for making this! :)
Beautiful.
A friend sent this to me today…my desk covered with tasks to be completed under deadlines…and I was moved to open this, to take time to contemplate the beauty and simplicity of what this film spoke to. Ahhhhh. I am refreshed. Thank you!
This video has inspired me a lot! You captured some very meaningful images and it all tied together extremely well. I look forward to the next rainy day to play in and sharing random acts of kindness to people in my community (even if it is simply a simple). I have a sure faith to see the harmony of Principle’s idea realized here an now, and look forward to working with the T4T community to embrace our world with ideas and motives that stem from divine Love.
I really liked this post. The cinematography looked professional and was very clear. There are so many things going on that every time I watch it there is new inspiration to be found. I love the structure of these videos, where, like the ‘Think Differently’ video, a mortal conception of things is turned around to reveal the Spiritual, Scientific interpretation. It’s one of those videos that reminds me why i’m so glad to have a faith which can be applied in everyday life to beat those mortal conceptions that seems so real without deeper understanding.
Thank you for posting this. The video is so well done! I love the message and hope that it helps others to re-define success as it did for me.
Wow….I´m impressed. Very good and inspiring short film. Also nice to see some “old” friends in the video :)
Exactly what I have discovered, but you said it so well! Who can put a price on service? being there for others? savouring beauty all around us? humour? love? You can never be lonely, bored or unsatisfied when the days are full of Christly activity. Love the camera work too! Thank you.
This represented so well the fast pace of life that we can so easily get drawn into. It brouhgt up something I have been thinking about, the difference between “doing” and “being”. The list of things to do on any given day can seem relentless making us feel too busy to stop and simply be. It’s the being that reminds us who we really are, loving and caring children of God, ready and able to pitch in or lend a helping hand. Thank you for presenting this great message in such a lively and vital way.
Elegant.
Eloquent.
Profound message…simply stated.
Thank you.
