I encourage every one to watch this short Documentary. Truly inspiring, heartfelt and creatively executed. If this doesn't move you, you are not human!

Pick of the Week #4

Jujitsuing Reality from Chad Mann on Vimeo.

After presenting you with 'The Forge' last week with its tragic yet beautiful purpose for creation I was not expecting to be sharing another video that would be as moving.  That was of course until I saw this short documentary a few days later and again thought "people need to see this".

'Jujitsuing Reality' gives an insight into the life of Scott Lew, a screen writer who suffers from ALS (Motor Neuron Disease).  Despite this, Scott has continued to do what he loves, writing.

The documentary won 'Best Documentary' at the LA shorts festival in 2012 as well as being shortlisted for a number of other awards.

Be Inspired: Scott Lew is a @fathersuperhero despite his Kryptonite. 

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl

Wow... this video is more than inspiring. When you wake up each morning and take the small things for granted, think again. This man has every right to wake up mad at the world each day and he does exactly the opposite. Take a few moments to watch this, I promise it's worth your time.
