A good preamble to reading this post is to watch my Hollywood Drive & Talk on “Show Me The Love,” as this post expands upon the concept I introduce there. So what is SHOW ME THE LOVE? It’s a new currency to quantify the human, energetic and spiritual compensation that reflects meaning and value in our lives. We are entering an era where money is no longer the only thing of import. In fact, financial incentive has drained out of most endeavors. The familiar [...]
In this episode, Seth proposes a new currency for doing business that reflects the monetary and non-monetary energy exchange between us he calls “SHOW ME THE LOVE.” Hollywood Drive & Talk: “It’s a business seminar… from the car.” Subscribe here. Get inspired. Be the change. ContentEngine.tv
The weather had been fierce of late. Your friendsthought it wasn’t the best time for you to take that rock-climbing trip. You weren’t necessarily scared, but you weren’t feeling at your physical peak, either. But you packed your gear anyway and set off to accomplish your longtime goal. What those around you didn’t understand was that your will was set, and you weren’t going to change your mind. True, it didn’t start off easy, but the more you(carefully) slogged away, the higher you ascended. [...]
It was never really just a swing set. It sat amid the trees and beckoned to you all during your childhood. You learned about the sky from looking upwards as you swung. The seats were always coming apart—they tore easily and were only made of a hard fabric—and you might injure yourself if you went too far in your upward arc; but you liked to do it anyway, jumping off into the air and landing in the dirt before falling [...]
A walk in the woods is never a bad thing, as it calms the nerves and focuses the mind, but now it’s become a necessity. Shattering recent events have been such that you don’t simply want it, now you actually need it. So you put on your walking shoes and retreat into the solitude of the greenery. At first, you’re just glad to get away from the world’s tension; but the longer you persist, walking up the trail and into [...]
It was only supposed to be a peaceful protest. You had your principles and felt they were being stepped on, so you decided to go down to the demonstration (as the Stones would say) to get your fair share of abuse. You knew there would be others protesting against your perspectives, but you were sure you could handle yourself, and felt pretty prepared. Come the day, off you went and it was as disruptive and chaotic as you had envisioned. [...]
It was a fun idea, at least: whitewater rafting is not known to be stress-free, but it’s certainly exciting. Since you had never tried it, you said to yourself, “Now’s the time!” So you signed up for the trip, purchased your safety equipment, listened to a guide tell you what you were about to face, and plunged into the water. All went well for a while, and you were having a hellava great time, until your raft took on a [...]
It’s been stressful lately. Your job has been filled with pressure. The boss wants things you aren’t sure you can deliver…and you’d need to be retrained, anyway. Rather than have a heart attack on the spot, you decide to take a walk outside. So you stroll down to a nearby park, where you sit on a bench and watch the world go by. All the while you’re thinking about where you’ve come to in your life and wondering, “Where to [...]
It wasn’t expected, but last week, you found during a routine checkup that you had developed what the doctor called “a small abnormality of the heart.” It wasn’t enough to hospitalize you, just make you think the worst. It was suggested that you change your diet and monitor your stress, returning this week for further tests. Also, that you try to have faith in the process. OMG! Immediately, you started to worry. Everything you had worked for, all your personal [...]
You’ve got a date with destiny and now you’ve got to get there. So you decide to drive rather than take public transportation, because it’s faster and, besides, you like being in the mix of what’s happening on the streets. Well, you’re about to get your wish! You start out casually, taking care of some old business via headset, and pretty soon the traffic opens up and you’re cruising along with impunity. Or so you think. For out from the [...]
OK, so OXV: The Manual. This is a project that I’ll be talking a lot about in future posts. It’s an independent feature that I like to refer to not so much as a “vanity” project as a “sanity” project. (And I’m being deliberately obscure as to what OXV means). Those who know me know that I’ve made no secret of the fact that for various reasons I’ve been unhappy with my first two features. I make no excuses. The mistakes [...]
You’re in a long hallway lined with mirrors; everywhere you look you see reflections of yourself. You’re not quite sure what compelled you to open the door that led you here, but it closed and locked behind you. There is only one way to go—forward. Ahead, you see another doorway, open this time, with a beautiful garden beyond it, a sweet fragrance exuding from its bounty. But you slow down, not comprehending quite yet that there is nothing stopping you from [...]
