My mom and I went to see the documentary, I AM, written by the producer of Nutty Professor, Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty-- Tom Shadyac. This movie shed light on big life questions like, What's wrong with the world? What can we do about it?
"In the process of trying to figure out what’s wrong with the world, Shadyac discovered there’s more right than he ever imagined. He learned that the heart, not the brain, may be man’s primary organ of intelligence, and that human consciousness and emotions can actually affect the physical world. "
Shadyac is a very successful man, after a terrible bicycle accident, he was disgusted by his own personal monetary waste leading to his transformation of living simply. “St. Augustine said, ‘Determine what God has given you, and take from it what you need; the remainder is needed by others.’ That’s my philosophy in a nutshell,” Shadyac says, “Or as Gandhi put it, ‘Live simply, so others may simply live.” This is just a taste of this amazing film, check out his website for more.
DO something. Believe in the power of one.
