Time for my first video!
Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share the first video in a series entitled ‘The Heart Asks’. This series tells the story of how I came to establish Ellipsis Wellbeing – the venture that is now my life’s work.
This video is a short autobiography that describes my aims for this project and hopefully serves as an introduction for what follows. This short film explores what I learned from my life’s journey, which I feel touches on some significant aspects of modern life.
Life brings with it many concerns and one of the big ones is: accumulating money
But the reason we pursue money is to enable us to do what we want. So, in one sense, life requires us to find a balance between earning a living and doing what we love.
I mention this because when I was in my early twenties, despite my immaturity, I had the work-life balance perfect. My job was just a means to an end. Outside of work I devoted all my energy to things which brought me fulfilment – making music and films, as well as enjoying myself having fun with my friends.
But as the years rolled by, I was taken with the (quite reasonable) assumption that more money was going to bring me more fulfilment. And so, I invested more energy into my pursuit of money, at the expense of what mattered to me.
I got it wrong – big time.
This film shows how and hopefully offers some insight into what life is all about. I hope you enjoy it - Thank you!
