“There are billions of us on this planet if each of us picked up one piece of plastic every day we could be living in a completely different world.” – Frank Solomon
Today I watched CORONA X PARLEY STREET SURFERS – an amazing documentary (powered by Corona and Parlay ) in which Surfer Frank Solomon shows us how surfing intersects with that of thousands of waste pickers known as Street Surfers who help keep South Africa’s oceans plastic-free.

Place a value on things money can’t buy that way even when you may be broke you won’t be poor – that’s my massage to the world

Some
people spend Friday nights watching series I write my future obituary to remind

Nisha Varghese (1991-Hopefully A LONG TIME FROM 2019)
Nisha Varghese is survived by her loving family. Nisha was kind, compassionate, generous, courageous, loyal, honest and fair. She appreciated everything, expected nothing and when she was on your side you truly felt it – she spared no effort or expense to make family, friends and sometimes strangers feel loved and appreciated. Nisha travelled the world, met new people and lived as though everything was a miracle because to her it was. She lived to make a difference and inspire others to do the same but what she did not realize was that the difference she made in the world was also making her. Nisha lived fully!

Life is really simple we make it complicated – that’s what I’ve realized.
Today I realized that we had it right when we were babies and depended on love and we will have it right at the end of life when we again depend on life it’s just in the middle of life when most people get confused and depend on money and power.
“No matter where you go, there’s a five-hundred-pound load of shit waiting for you. And that’s perfectly fine. The point isn’t to get away from the shit. The point is to find the shit you enjoy dealing with.”― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
Today I was reminded that although a life of contribution is challenging it’s much preferable to sitting around idly all day…in the end my life will have made an impact and that’s well worth all the hard days and challenges.
Resisting change is in itself a form of suffering– that’s my message to the world
