I happened upon an interesting short film by a photographer named Zack Arias and liked it so much that I decided to share it here. I'm not much of a photographer and maybe you're not either. If you are, you certainly don't read my blog for photo tips. None of that matters. I'm not sharing the video because it will help you take better pictures. I'm sharing it because it contains lessons that just might help you be better at whatever matters to you - whether you strive to be a top marketer, a successful leader, an inspired creative or just an all around good person.
Entitled "Transform," it contrasts the drudgery of the day-to-day details that define what you do with a more profound meditation on who you are and how you can be who you want to be. In other words, it contrasts the crap that doesn't really matter with the vital things that do. Very, very inspiring stuff -- whether you're a creative soul or a stodgy suit.
The video runs ten minutes but I can guarantee it will provide ten of the best ten minutes of your day. As a side note, you'll need to watch through the first minute and a half to get to the good stuff -- but the first minute and a half provides good context so don't just drag the status bar to 1:31.
