i like change (not necessarily the kind in your pocket or in-between the cushions of your sofa ... although it does comes in quite handy for dollar menu lunches).

i like forward movement ... progress, if you will.

i thrive on collaborative efforts that lead to the development of processes that enhance the already stellar (or even not-so-stellar) infrastructures of organizations (you just got a glimpse into my inner nerd).

aside from the last bullet point, we may all be on the same page. human nature doesn't lend itself to stagnant, immobile behaviors. we may choose it because it feels safer than the alternative, but our inherent desire isn't to remain the same until the end of time.

vince is shooting another short film and the script includes a nice action sequence. while i was sitting in the car with the camera and director (vince), watching the action unfold with the car next to us ... i couldn't help but get excited. we were going somewhere ... collectively. we were working together to figure out how to turn this momentum into something audiences would not only be entertained by, but also inspired.

that's both the beauty and power of movement.

i leave for india and dubai in two weeks. i live for these three weeks of my year because i build so much momentum on these trips. there is something about the constant movement of this tour that makes me feel energized and alive. the momentum actually sustains itself for a few months after my return and then i start craving it again when i realize how absent the elements are from my actual life.

i can just imagine my life from the lens of a camera as i buzz around the cities in india. i'd like to think it would be mildly entertaining but more importantly inspiring and engaging. who i am there is exactly the person i am here. the difference is that there ... i am given the platform to be a person of action. that platform alone, unleashes more of my harnessed potential than i even thought i possessed.

i want my life to be a sequence of action-packed events. a sequence that leads to something greater ... not simply a repetition of the same actions.

maybe this year will hold more opportunities for that to become a more consistent reality ... not just a once a year short.
