A poignant little 3 minute film, ideal for a Sunday reflecting on the bigger picture of life. Beautifully directed, shot and narrated. The kind of film quality Enlighten Me…TV also plans to Produce/ Exec and Commission, (beyond ‘how to’s) once funding and sponsorship is on board.
Directed by Camille Marotte.
Life: Make every moment count. Make it matter. Make it loving.
and planting a few seeds in this Commencement Speech, e.g:
“So many of us choose our path based on Fear, disguised as Practicality”. …”You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might aswell take a chance at doing what you love”.
“Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world”.
He’ll entertain and enlighten you at the same time.
PERSPECTIVE – It’s easy to overlook things and live on automatic pilot in the busy routine of day to day life…
Food for thought in this well crafted short film ‘This is Water’ based on a College Commencement address by David Foster Wallace…. Life advice from someone who’s no longer with us. Hollywood has just begun on the feature of his life story, starring funny man Jason Segel.
When we’re at a cross road or crisis point, it’s a good time to reassess our life purpose. In fact, it’s a ‘window of opportunity’ to consider: What will truly bring meaning and fulfilment? What do I really want to do with my life? And how can I contribute to the bigger picture – and make a difference in the world? The window of opportunity is known as a ‘Choice Point’, also the title of an inspirational documentary film…
Here’s some tasters:
Entrepreneur Harry Massey, the Founder and Director of ‘Choice Point’, has a 3 part theory for finding your ‘life purpose’:
1. Understand your world (your skills, passions and the needs of the world)
2. Align Your Purpose (with something bigger than yourself)
3. Be the Change (that you want to see in the world)… just like Gandhi said.
…And to make choices from the ‘Power of Love’ (as opposed to the love of power)!
I hope the videos offer a little reflection and inspiration. The trailer and full film can be viewed at Harry’s site: http://www.choicepointmovement.com. Lovely entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson and author Jack Canfield (‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’) feature in the film.
