LIFE JOURNEY

in life we are often driven by our past.
both by the known and unknown forces that shaped our lives.
these forces drive us.
how we live and act.
what we do with our lives.
what keeps us motivated.
yet these forces are not necessarily who we are at our most true self.
or even who or what we want to be.
it is who we show the world.yet when we are quiet.
with ourselves. and get honest with ourselves.
we feel the need to get out of the box we often create.
and live in.
so i decided to live a more authentic life, so i asked myself, what is true to my spirit?
true to my soul?
what life do i want to look back on? i want to know that i led the life i chose to live, to create.this might sound a bit esoteric, or psycho-babble-ish.
but it is not for me.
i had to dig deep. really deep. and push myself. to my place of joy – my place of creativity.
my place of honesty.
so i did a LIFE 180.

this means i turned toward my true self, my deepest goals and dreams. and my purpose. i no longer ignored what created real joy and purpose for me. and thus for others.

after working for 10 well-known and respected companies, companies that gave me a sense of power and validation, i decided to bet on myself. i started my own company, doing consulting, video production and social media marketing for major companies. betting on yourself is the only real bet in life worth making.

i landed clients. major global clients, lots of them. and we did innovative work, especially for the london and sochi olympics.

yet, i still craved to get closer to my dream of being an adventurer, a photographer and filmmaker. to really explore and capture the remote parts of the world and all its glory, and to share these glorious moments with the world in the hope of inspiring others to further recognize, respect and protect our glorious planet.

plus i desired to be an activist for what i believed in…and so i decided to dedicate my time and energy to helping others through volunteering, pro-bono wildlife work, and speaking engagements.
