Take a few minutes to watch this:

Marina Abromovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened

This short video has such a powerful message that it has brought me down to a stream of tears.

After watching it, I started thinking the following: What if we all had one minute to meet again with that person that is no longer in our life? A person that we never stopped loving, a deceased family member, a lost friend, a broken relationship – doesn’t matter. Just right now, stop and think – what would you do or say in that one minute? Would you use it to say ‘I Love You’ one last time? To say ‘I’m sorry friend, I really miss you’ and surrender to forgiveness? Or to hug your loving parents and tell them “I couldn’t be here without you, you are my everything”.

Whatever it is, take a minute today to be thankful – take a minute away from your busy Monday, from the “I didn’t get to sleep in” and the “damn daylight savings!” and instead, picture those you love the most. Think how lucky you are to be alive and how blessed you feel of having them in your life. It just takes one quick minute to be thankful, but the bliss of feeling loved will last you the whole day.

Try it. Make a small, positive change and see what happens.
