be the change

We live in a period of history, where truly you can come up with an idea and then find the resources and capacity to pull it off.

The internet and social media has enabled us to create our dreams at a fraction of the price it used to cost to innovate previously.

I often meet creative people who are passionate about change. They catch the heart of vision to make a difference in our world, but live far from the dreams and desires they feel burning in their hearts.

Have you had an idea that you are stuck where to from here?

Do you feel deeply about issues, that you want to make a step forward and create change?

Well I wrote a book just for you.

potential

It is a 30 day journey, that starts from Perth, Western Australia and travels to Bangkok, Thailand. A 30 day inspiration guide, that combines thoughts about creativity, poverty and innovation.

I wrote this book ‘capture 30days desperate for change’ hoping to release some people from the fear that stops them from realising their dreams.

The best part of this story is that it is free.

I kept the price down, by designing it super simply, a downloadable PDF book, that you can open up on your ipad, e-reader, computer or phone and start to do the journey together.

You could even print it and write into the workbook. If you do, take some photos and share with one another on here or my instagram or facebook.

Download today and write into me.

I would love to hear what inspires you towards change.

do what you love!

do what you loveOne of the greatest awakenings I have had since I stopped working, was how much of my life I lived Adrenaline addicted.

My stress levels in my previous job were off the chain and maybe parts of that were the job, others the culture, others addiction to peoples approval and more. I have loved exploring life and my self perception in these last eighteen months of unemployment and I have been rediscovering what I truly love.

I realise many people don’t have the liberty of doing this and working just to cover the bills and mortgage is a necessity but imagine if we all had less stuff and did more of what we loved.

What is it that you love?

What is it that you dream of doing?

Imagine that.

Yes imagine it.

Life is so much more than about things. If you stopped buying and started thinking, if you stopped consuming and started reflecting, if you started engaging rather than viewing…

Imagine what your everyday could be.

Let go of what others think and start to live what you do.

Do what you love.

Broaden your horizons

lebanonEvery time I travel, I feel like my brain, imagination and heart are enlarged.

I know it is an extreme privilege that I get to travel, one that is not afforded to many many people in the world.

Yet I often meet people who have to capacity to travel to distant lands, yet do not.

Sometimes it’s fear, others it’s comfort, for some it’s laziness and others they just plain need to let go of their need to control.

Exploration is not a means tested reality anymore. With the internet and its amazing capacity to show us every part of our continent we can travel also from our own lounge room. The key to partaking is a willingness to be curious.

A few years ago now I travelled to Lebanon. I stayed in a small village on the border of Israel and Syria and it was one of the most awakening experiences of my life. It is a part of the world that not many people have the privilege to travel to and the family I stayed with are so special.

This morning whilst wandering through social media one of my good friends posted this and memories started flowing.

Every new experience that we encounter, creates memories and opportunities for our imagination to draw upon at a later date. Our minds are like massive visual libraries, full of rows and rows of memories, experiences, encounters and feelings.

Allowing ourselves to be ever curious is one of the greatest tools of an innovative soul.

Are you curious?

Do you explore?

Do you jump at the opportunity for a new adventure?

If not, the unlimited potential of your imagination has less to draw from.

Have a great day

sky simone’s story #thecaptureproject

jon

Hello Everyone,

This project has been so inspiring. Today’s story is from Sky Simone. She is a photographer and she has opened up about a story she encountered with a homeless person. It helped show me a new perspective when we consider those who find themselves without a permanent address.

This photo above is of Sky with Jon in Las Vegas. Jon is the homeless guy she meets in this story.

 

How about you?

What has inspired you?

Who has inspired you?

What is your story to tell?

Adventure is awaiting discovery.

We had an idea.

My husband, a very new friend and I.

It’s simple.

But also a little complicated.

It might work.

It might not.

But were having a go anyway.

Watch this video to find out more.

Why don’t you get involved. Hold up your Iphone/Skype Cam/Andriod something and lets have a go together. Tell us your story. Not where you were born and such. Just tell us what inspires you, tell us something that happened, tell us a secret dream or ambition.
