Bullying is such an important topic, and it breaks my heart to see recent reports of young people who have been hurt and affected by it – words can have a bigger impact than we know. I was also affected by bullying when I was younger and I feel for those who can relate, and appreciate Megan and Liz for their inspiring efforts! Stay tuned for more information about Dreamer ENT’s Show Some Love Anti-Bullying Campaign. – Julene, Editor of DreamerENT.com

Youtube singing sensations Megan and Liz are twin sisters who took their passion for music and decided to share it with the world. The girls began posting Youtube covers a few years ago and began catching the attention of others; they were even surprised on the Oprah Winfrey Show and able to meet one of their inspirations Taylor Swift.

Recently Megan and Liz wrote a song called “Are You Happy Now?” to address the topic of bullying and how words and negative actions affect people so deeply. They got fans to submit photos for the music video and the compilation is really inspiring, watch the official video above and the fan submission video below.

In the movie Akeelah and the Bee, Keke Palmer’s character Akeelah quoted Marianne Williamson in a scene when Akeelah was too scared to try to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee, giving some amazing words of inspiration:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…

“It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Click here for Dreamer ENT’s interview with Keke Palmer for her inspiration on following your dreams.

It’s easy to get discouraged or distracted if you’re not sure where you’re going or don’t think you’re good enough to follow your dreams.

We tend to look at celebrities and those who are in the limelight as those who are significant in society, but in reality everyone on Earth was born with equal worth and the potential to do something amazing. The aim though is not to be amazing to merely impress or ‘be famous,’ but to enrich the lives of those around you.

People who change the world are just ordinary people who found their passion and purpose and put extra hard work to become extraordinary and to share their gifts with the world. When you give your all and try your best at what you’re passionate about over time you will get better and better, like Akeelah did in the movie.

Dreamer ENT features the stories of young people who are doing amazing things now, and not waiting until they are older to start following their passions. The important thing to remember is that we’re all unique, and there’s enough success for everyone. Everyone might not become a famous star in Hollywood but you can be a star in whatever area you’re passionate about – whether it be fashion, medicine or even directing movies. What you have to offer is unique and important, so if you keep it bottled up inside we all miss out. Dare to be different and shine, and maybe those around you will be inspired and do the same!

“We tend to look at celebs and those in the limelight as those who are significant in society, but in reality everyone was born with equal worth…

You have the potential to do something amazing to impact the world, no matter how young you are – go out and shine!” – Julene

I love this song from the teen group Mission 6, about how we’re never too young to make a difference in the world:

If there’s a problem but there’s a solution
Let’s unite and start the revolution now…

‘Cause every time we close our eyes we dream the world has come to life.
Here we go
No we’re not alone
Yeah we may be young
But we’re not too young to change the world
Here we go

- From “Not Too Young”

If you’re looking for a great and impact-full movie to see with friends, be sure to go catch Soul Surfer which hit theaters recently. This inspiring film is based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton who lost her left arm in a shark attack at 13 years old but overcame the tragedy and went on to become one of the most amazing professional surfers in the world. With faith, love and support from her family and friends Bethany pursued her dream and is inspiring people around the world to overcome obstacles in their lives as well.

The movie stars AnnaSophia Robb as Bethany Hamilton, Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt as Bethany’s parents and singer Carrie Underwood. Visit the Soul Surfer movie site to find out more on where you can watch this inspiring movie! You can also visit Bethany’s Official Website to learn more about her story and read her blog: www.bethanyhamilton.com

Watch the Soul Surfer Trailer Below:

More About the Real Bethany Hamilton
Bethany has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, faith and hope. Born into a family of surfers on February 8, 1990, Bethany jumped on the board at a young age. Bethany entered her first surf competition—winning both the short and long board divisions at age eight.

On Halloween morning 2003, Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark, which bit off her left arm and seemed to end her career as a rising surf star. After losing more than 60% of her blood and undergoing several surgeries, Bethany began her recovery with an unbelievably positive attitude. Miraculously, just one month after the attack, Bethany returned to the water. Two months later, Bethany placed fifth in the Open Women’s division surf competition and just over a year after the attack she won her first National Title. In 2007, Bethany realized her dream and turned pro. Bethany has since participated in numerous Association of Surfing Professionals and World Tour Events with her major highlight being a second place finish in the ASP 2009 World Junior Championships. “It has been an incredible journey for me and now, I’m just so excited to share it!” says Bethany.

“Bethany’s story is so powerful,” says Soul Surfer Director Sean McNamara. “Most people would have given up after what happened to her, but not only did she make an amazing return to surfing, she excelled at it, and has turned her life into an inspiration for people all around the world. She is someone you look at and think, ‘If she can do all the incredible things she’s done, I can set the world on fire, too.’” says Sean.

We love David’s song “Something About Love,” from his latest album The Other Side of Down. David says the song is more uptempo then what he’s been known to do, and that he was excited to get more involved with the writing process of on the album.

“I just wanted to show more of me and show more of the things that I believed in… allow people to relate to me more, kind of see my personality more in the songs.”

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars, to change the world.”
— Harriet Tubman

About Harriet Tubman

February is Black History Month but learning from all history is something we can do daily. Learn about how Harriet Tubman made a mark on this world below:

Born into slavery in the early 1820s, Harriet Tubman became one of the most successful conductors on the Underground Railroad – the secret route used to free slaves in the south. In her nearly 20 trips to Southern states, it is estimated that she freed more than 300 slaves—never once losing a passenger.

During the Civil War, Tubman worked for the Union Army as a cook, laundress, and spy. Her deep understanding of the back roads and woodlands from Pennsylvania to South Carolina made her a natural for infiltrating Confederate lines and identifying potential targets. In her later years, Tubman also became involved in women’s rights and frequently spoke at meetings and conventions on her life as a slave, an Underground Railroad conductor, and as a free black woman.

Well-respected and widely renowned in life, she became an American icon in the years after her death in 1913. She not only inspired generations of African-Americans struggling for equality, but she also continues to earn praise from politicians and historians for her contributions to American and its people.
