Collabs and Your Verse

I so often find that we live in a society of competition. We always have to one-up each other. When it comes to sports I totally appreciate it and it's kind of the whole point. However, I see it so often within friends, family-members and businesses. Naturally we all have that competitive edge, which is great and totally necessary for certain aspects. But why do we continuously compare ourselves to others? Why can't we be happy with what we have and who we are? I think we all need to remind ourselves that we all have an AMAZING purpose that's our very own and nobody elses.

Last night I FINALLY watched "Dead Poet's Society". The professor, John Keating, takes a quote from Walt Whitman where he questions life and it's existence (I think...I'm no poet!!) and Keating answers: "That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?".  I absolutely love that quote and it really resonated with me and Leap of Life. It made me question what I want to accomplish and the potential I have for positive change. I'm excited! Anyways, I wanted to share that with you and maybe ask you what your verse will be or what do you want it to be (as corny as that sounds)? Food for thought!

Back to the subject of competition. I think for the most part it's excrement :). We all want to be happy right? How is that possible when we're consistently in competition mode and nothing is ever good enough? I'm talking mostly personal and business-wise. It's kind of common sense that if more people/companies/organizations come together and collaborate. WAY more will get done and a message will be created.

That's really the whole point to Leap of Life. We believe collaboration is key to success and happiness and the more people/companies we bring together, the closer we are to our mission. We are already collaborating with Social City Networking (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Social-City-Networking-INC/122259574486548), a community and socially conscious company who connects and celebrates amazing and conscious companies in Vancouver.
I'm also looking so forward to July where I'll be meeting the incredible group of people that are the backbone to Light and Soul Creations (http://www.lightandsoul.ca/). Based out of Calgary, they are a group of artists that are committed to living a progressive lifestyle that breaks out of the conventional and limiting scene through art and their incredible creations. Their mantra is "Challenge reality, manifest progression." How awesome is THAT!? So stoked to meet them folks.
If you go to their site you can watch their amazing new video outlining their new "animalistic" line! Dooooo it!!! I wanted to post it, but I can't figure out how to get it on here. Blast!

In the meantime...an awesome and nostalgic summer swoon. He's here in August!
