One Minute Wonders

July 25, 2012

I found this site called One Minute Wonders & literally watched every video. They are a series of video portraits of wondrous people, telling their personal story in 60 seconds flat. Artists, entrepreneurs, and designers offer up an insight into their motivations and what really makes them tick.

These are the two that struck me the most. Let me tell you why. I love the woman because of her calmness. By the end of her one minute, I felt so much more relaxed & peaceful. I can only imagine how less stressed I would be if I was more like her. Half the time I am moving and going way too quickly – and when I say half the time I mean ALL the time. My nerves are wrecked at 25!? so dumb.

The guy touched on reinvention & perspective – two things that I feel are so important to an enlightened and educated life. I am the WORST at avoiding things that make me feel uncomfortable. I mean… it’s really bad!! Two years ago I hit my all time low with this and have been trying to recover ever since. So far so good!! Like he said, you just have to realize that when you’re uncomfortable, you’re out of your element and have something to learn! Who doesn’t want to learn & grow?? Come on…
