The Perilous Journey of Becoming Someone [re-post]

I thought that if you liked the Nic Askew short film in last Thursday’s post, you might appreciate a re-post of one of his first films, and one of my favorites. Here it is. Enjoy. (from my March 19, 2009 blog)



EVERYTHING could be pointing the way…

Perhaps my favorite Nic Askew film ever. Enjoy! Watch it over and over. Thanks for tuning in.

When you need a nudge

Today I am sharing a 2006 film that Nic Askew recently re-screened and released, featuring his interview with success coach Michael Neill.  This short film is full of nice little nuggets for you to build on. One I particularly like comes early in the film, when Michael recalls the childhood meanders of floating sticks in a stream. Sooner or later, a stick gets hung up in debris along the water’s edge.

“The stick doesn’t need therapy. It’s just stuck; it needs a nudge.”

We all get hung up on things in our lives.  We get stuck by jobs, relationships, challenges and opportunities, our next move… We get confused between having been and being more, as this film wonderfully illustrates.

We all get stuck. Getting stuck doesn’t mean you need therapy.  But it’s important to recognize when you need a nudge.

Do yourself a huge favor. When you get stuck, have the courage to find someone in the “nudge” business to help you get past the debris in which you’re hung up. It will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.

Enjoy the short film.

Is Free Ever Really Free?

This is a test. There is a lot of hype among social media and online marketing gurus these days about how the new “free enterprise” is just that – give it to them free.  I’ll buy that (pardon the pun) for the most part, but I received an interesting email that normally I might have thrown into junk mail. This time, instead, I am trying it out.

There is utility in this (again, pardon the pun) since the freebie in question is a Registry Cleaner and my old worn-out laptop with Windows could sure use some help – lots of help.  Here is the email, in it’s entirety.
