the calling so epic

the calling so epic it blows your mind

I’ve been studying with the monks in the mountains of 🇯🇵japan the past few weeks from Kōyasan to Shikoku: I cannot play small, it’s not how I’m wired: life’s greatest takeaways from the monks:

1- we are all the same 2- observe more 3- be present for yourself 4- be present for others 5- ganbatte: always so your best 6- everyone is fighting a different battle; be kind + mindful of others 7- do all things with great love: even things like cleaning, serving others and praying for others can be an anthem to finding peace 8- when nobody is watching, ganbatte, always do your best 9- age isn’t important, when you take great care: ki yo tsukete, when you meditate, when you serve others, you age slower + more beautifully. ps Japanese facials are insanely amaze. 10- getting lost within the green trees, the mountains, the water, forest bathe, hike more, breathe in fresh oxygen, notice the the “komorebi”, the light between the trees, contemplate & find yourself.

This has been simultaneously the most epic & tough shoot run, it took me almost two years to develop the concept, but holy moly, it’s been worth it ... guess what??? MOM is my next guest on the show, we meet her tomorrow, in her hometown island of Kyūshū, Japan 🇯🇵. 🙏🏼 inspire yourself to do something greater than you imagined, beyond your means, beyond measure. be brave. be original. yes— just be yourself . 📷 by the one and only @badshield xx ♥️ Ganbatte ne!
