Amo La Vida

71,106 views
In this black-and-white interview, filmmaker Nic Askew interviews Julio Olalla. It is not an interview to sell anything or pitch anything. Its just Julio being Julio. He candidly speaks about an encounter with his father that changed his life, and what he learned: "Gratitude in so many ways is so dramatically missing in the world today. Without gratitude nothing is enough." It's the kind of short movie where you want to turn off the lights, and just soak in the spirit of an everyday hero.

Its true that every day we have quick chats with others but not deep meaningful soul stirring conversations. We need more of that. Peace begins within me.

So many lovely insights. This reminded me of my meditation teacher who gave unconditionally. I am so grateful to my meditation teacher for giving me the gift of vipassana.

It reminds me of my gratitude I have for my doctor in saving my life. He is very knowledge able, but more importantly, he is wise.

That giving is remembered after so many years. This highlights the need to listen to the promptings of Love deep within and then to give freely and cheerfully.

It is so true that falling in love with questions is part of the path to wisdom. We as human beings are becoming so clever in our love affair with knowledge but wisdom requires a very different approach. A beautiful video.

"The interesting and fascinating thing with having no clue is then you fall in love with questions." ♥

True wisdom is captured in everyone of us. Deep inside we know the answers to every question we have. To uncover that wisdom it is necessary to trust in your own beauty and to take the time to look and listen at it.
