One of my favorite movies is The Sixth Sense by M. Night Shyamalan. In it, RED acts as a visual cue for ghosts, paranormal activity, and the presence of the spirit realm, and it does the job without a word of dialogue. You may not consciously register it, but the film trains your eye anyway. What red represents - Pain and unfinished business. Grief, fear, and violence carry red with them. A spirit’s unresolved story bleeds into the frame. - Protection and control. Red doesn’t change. Cole does. At first, red warns him that something is near. Once he stops running and starts listening to the ghosts, the same signal becomes something he can face. What frightens us as children often becomes what comforts us once we face it. Where to look - The basement doorknob. Red marks the door Malcolm can’t open, and he is more shut out than he realizes. - Anna’s world. She wears red at the anniversary dinner and is surrounded by it in her grief, while Malcolm hovers beside her, unseen. - Cole’s world. The red sweater, the red tent he hides in, and the red balloon at the birthday party mark where Cole is most exposed or most protected. - The funeral. We learn early that black means mourning, so when someone wears anything else, we notice. How many of you questioned the red dress at Kyra’s funeral? 🎈 If you want to more about Ai Filmmaking, join Ai Storytellers.

🚌 The Energy Bus , Rule #1 — You’re the Driver of Your Bus All aboard, Color Crew! 🌈 Got your golden ticket? Good. Today I’m handing you the keys. 🔑 As an actual bus driver, I can tell you this much. If everybody on the bus gets a turn at the wheel, we’re going to have a very interesting conversation with dispatch. 😂 That’s what I love about the first rule in Jon Gordon’s The Energy Bus. I can’t control traffic, the weather, or who woke up cranky. I can choose what I do next. Some days that means taking a breath before I answer. Some days it means finally making the call I’ve been putting off. Think of it like a traffic light. 🔴 Red gives you a moment to stop. 🟡 Yellow gives you a chance to notice what’s happening. 🟢 Green is where you choose your next move. Even a little one counts. 🎟️ Your golden ticket for the week Where are you taking the wheel this week, and what’s one move you’ll make? I’ll go first. I’ve been wanting to get this book conversation rolling, so here’s my first move. I’m putting Rule #1 out there and inviting you all along for the ride. Drop yours below. 👇🏻 You can jump in even if you haven’t opened the book yet. Let’s get this bus rolling! 🚌 Shine Brightly, Live Boldly, and Stay in Tune 🎶

“Desire, vision and focus move you, in the right direction.” The Energy Bus 🎟️ All right, Color Crew, golden tickets out! Rule #1 put us in the driver’s seat. Now somebody in the back is already hollering… “Thom, where are we going?” 😂 Fair question. On a bus route, I know where I’m headed before I pull out. In life? I can decide I’m going somewhere new and still catch myself signaling for the same old turn. Anybody else? 😄 Here’s how I think about Rule #2 in Color Crew colors. 🟠 Desire gets me moving. What do I want enough to go after? 🔵 Vision gives me a destination I can picture. What would it look like if I got there? 🟡 Focus helps me choose the next turn. What can I do today to get a little closer? Here’s mine. I want this Crew to be a place where even the folks riding quietly in the back feel comfortable chiming in. I can picture somebody who’s been reading along for weeks finally saying, “Hey, here’s mine.” So I’m making that first comment an easy one. 👇 “I’m driving toward ___, and my next turn is ___.” Write it on the back of your golden ticket 🎫 if you like. Then drop it below so we can cheer you on. 🎟️ Thom Shine Brightly, Live Boldly, and Stay in Tune 🎶
