I’m in the middle of finishing up a five month project that required tremendous focus for myself and a very good friend who worked on the project with me. When we first set out on the “idea” to make a documentary film we had all these flashes of inspiration running wild in our minds. My friend and I started writing down our intentions for the film and where our destinations were going to be. My goodness did things take a different route as to where we thought it was “all going”. The most important thing that we decided right off the bat, was that no matter what, we were going to create a special journey for others to watch. Throughout the journey of the trip we set out on I learned so much about my friend and the talents he has on creating art. We shared many emotions together and god knows at some points we almost lost the plot. But cooler heads prevailed and not once in the time we spent together did we shout and get angry at each other. As different as we are from each other, we actually have a lot of the same qualities. A mutual respect is needed for any relationship to work. If work isn’t harmonious, the end result can never be good. The universe places people in our lives at just the right moment, nothing I believe is accidental. I learned that one of the greatest assets one can have is an open mind and heart on all subjects. Understanding of the emotions is also a key component in harmonious relations. Because we tend to take on traits of the people we associate with, it only makes sense to have compassion towards the people we hold dear to our hearts. We were all placed on the earth plane for a reason. And some of our greatest accomplishments come right on the brink of failure. Toughing things out until the end and eliminating fear can be hard at times! But the reward in the end is powerfully fulfilling. Great friends aren’t always easy to find, so when you attract good people into your life embrace them and appreciate all that the stand for.
Much Love and Friendship
