Just a nit pick re: the hat draw…………how can we be sure that all the pieces of paper didn’t say Teresa? You need to open up a few loser entries, just to prove next time! However, I am personally not too disappointed as actually I never got round to entering the competition before the closing date! Even though I could probably do with a couple of years of coaching/counselling!!

Thanks, Jared for leading me here to Annabel’s site. Annabel – I loved the chat bubble comments in your video!! For me, short videos like yours are a delight. Reading someone’s words after you have seen and heard them gives such a wonderful personal touch and makes this world seem a little bit smaller.

You did a great job on your video. Congratulations. You had no reason to be nervous at all. Great work.

@Lori…How was the date with yourself? This is such a powerful exercise and will enable you to learn things about yourself that you may have never realized. Try this on a continuous basis and you will begin to see tangible results surface in your world!

@Tim…I admire your level of consciousness because you have already realized that society (teachers, preachers, family, friends, the news, etc.) will do everything in their power to influence us to live by their terms as opposed to ours. Is this done intentionally? I would hope not, but part of me realizes that the motive behind our actions is often a subconscious thought process to elevate ourselves while others squander. The world was born with a plethora of ordinary people, make yourself extraordinary by going on a DATE WITH YOU!

@Hiliary…I am so happy that you enjoyed and I think it is important that you realize that ALL OF US need to refine our identity because it is not something you achieve, but rather something that becomes part of how you live your life. I am eager to see how your date goes with yourself!

Hilary – Thanks, you are so kind. I hope you get the time to look after and reconnect with yourself soon. You deserve it.

Hi Annabel .. I agree with the others – you’ll get better and become more relaxed, make light of things and generally just smile and not be so ‘anxious’ about it all .. it is practising .. and as you do it – you’ll find other ways to present and put across your views .. excellent for trying .

My identity – I need to refind it again – looking after too many others .. it will happen – but an interesting approach here – thanks to Jared.

Great video! My hero takes a chance! Just as I thought, your just as charming in video as in your blog. Your video mirrors what is coming through in your blog. Thanks for all you do for us out here in the blogosphere.

I think you presented yourself extremely well on that video, Annabel. You seem like a very very likable person. I think you have every reason in the world to feel confident about posting more videos.

As for the article, Jared, I think really getting to know ourselves and what we really believe in is very important because there are so many people in the world who want us to conform to their ways and beliefs. If we only do what other people want us to do, we will lose our motivation and originality and end up living emptier lives than we have to.

It’s usually best to follow our hearts.

Hi Annabel,
Woman, you have tenacity, guts, and bravery! Bravo!
Today I’ve seen you drawn as a comic/cartoon/stick figure as well as seen/heard you live on video!
I can’t say I’m brave enough to video myself, but I think you’ve inspired me! What’s to be afraid of, right? Any advice for me?

Thanks for hosting your guest today, too. I really liked his approach to identity – and I think I’m going to take myself out on a date this weekend, too!

Thanks everyone. Agree with all you say about the video:

1. I need to practice and get better at it.
2. But only use video in moderation.

Also, if I do more videos maybe make a transcript so people can choose to read it instead and definitely double check for spinach stuck between the teeth before recording:)
