The message of this movie is "do what you want". The video is a meditative portrait of a man who was once a successful medical doctor, and who as 60+ lives in a small studio in Los Angeles (i think). Every day, he goes out to skate the beaches of Southern California with a big smile on his face. He does not seem crazy, although I don't know for sure. He tells us that he had an opportunity and took it. He decided to stop being an asshole, and start being spiritual.
If, like me, you are a parent of a two-year old and a four-year old, I hope you will interleave the "do what you want" part with an adequate or more dosis of "take care of your children". Another message of the video is that it is never to later to realize yourself. Even when you are 60+ years old. Until then, happy grinding!
