“Everybody has the capacity to dream and believe anything he wants to. The shrinks would call it a personal delusional system. And you believe it because you choose to.”

~ Slomo

Who doesn’t know someone who gave it all up to do something they really loved?

Like the high flying consultant who became a dog walker. Or the lawyer who used to win multimillion dollar cases and then bought a wooden sailing boat to sail around the world for the rest of his life. Or the investment banker who became a professional ballerina? Or the neighbour who divorced his wife, sold his bakery and became a mountain guide in the Himalayas.

Well, here’s another example a man who went from suicidal to blissfully happy. A neurologist who became the slow motion skater on the Pacific Beach Boardwalk.

It’s true, outstandingly filmed and contagious.
