Intricate & Simple

Rob Stewart is the man in this TED talk, and one of my personal hero’s and greatest inspirations. My life was completely shifted when I saw his first film, Sharkwater, back in 2007. Rob just exudes inspiration, commitment and determination to the cause. He has focus, and he just goes to town. And look at the impact he’s made: HUGE. I am confident in saying his film, Sharkwater, sparked the shark conservation revolution, raising efforts to global levels. Rob just inspires me, to unparalleled levels.

So, when caught in effect of self sabotage in this messy world and ridiculous job hunt, I have learnt I need to focus. Regardless of how many things you’re doing, you need to focus. Until I focus on getting specific things done, instead of trying to do everything (and by that I mean 4 volunteer jobs, one paid job, yoga, and searching for a full time job - for me thats alooottt), things are not going to get done. I am not going to create greatness by spreading myself so thin.

It came so clear to me in yoga a couple weeks ago. Maybe I hadn’t been really hearing my teachers during practice, or it just happened they all mentioned it in practice that week. What are you doing that is serving you in your life? What isn’t? Why are you still holding onto it?

So here’s to sticking to commitments, a whole lotta focus and weeding out what I have in my life that isn’t serving me.

If you need me, I’ll be with my MacBook Pro, at Higher Ground or Starbucks, or at the yoga studio.
