INSPIRATIONAL | How the Holstee manifesto became the new ‘Just Do It’
If you don't like something, change it.
If you don't like your job, quit.
If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV.
If you are looking for the #love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.
Stop over-analysing, life is simple.
All #emotions are #beautiful.
When you eat, appreciate every last bite.
Life is simple.
Open your #heart, mind and arms to new things and people, we are united in our differences.
Ask the next person you see what their #passion is and share your inspiring dream with them.
Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.
Some opportunities only come once, seize them.
Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating.
Life is short, live your dream and wear your passion.”
About The Holstee Manifesto -
The Holstee manifesto is the most iconic product of the Brooklyn-based apparel company Holstee. Although the company was founded with the aim of selling sustainably sourced consumer goods, the poster of the manifesto is now one of Holstee’s best-selling items. At one point this summer, they sold out of it with a four-week back-order. The manifesto has been translated into 12 languages, and by Holstee’s own approximations, it’s been viewed more than 50 million times.
Holstee was founded by brothers Dave and Mike Radparvar and their friend Fabian Pfortmuller in 2009. Before that, Dave and Mike were, like Thorpey, successful in their careers but growing restless in the corporate world.
Eight years ago, they wrote The Holstee Manifesto — their own definition of success. But in trying to live these values, they struggled, finding their selves distracted by the urgency of their notification-driven culture and trapped by the idea of living up to someone else's definition of success.
Over the years, it became clear to them that living with intention and reflection is an ongoing practice, not a destination.
Each month, together with our community, we explore one theme that's core to living a more meaningful life.
The Holstee Manifesto
I have made some changes recently in my life and #plan to use the Holstee Manifesto as my theme.
Contrary to your beliefs, I am stronger then what you give me credit for, but the real lesson here is the knowledge to know I don't owe you an explanation to anything. Life is not about who you know, but rather about who knows you & what you stand for. It is your life – you have to be respectful towards it. It is your life – you have to trust it and you have to go with it, wherever it leads. Even if you have to go astray, go. There is nothing wrong in going astray, because only those who go astray come back. Even if you have to commit an error, do it – because only by mistakes do we learn, and there is no other way to learn.
Your life is a movie. You are the main character. You say your scripts and act to your lines. Of course you do your lines in each scene. There is a hidden camera and a director who you can ask for help anytime up above. The circumstances surrounding your birth is not as important as the opportunity to live life. Others can't always define your true identity. They see what they 'want' to see but beyond your mess, God sees the beauty He created and still thinks it's good!
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."
— William W. Purkey

this is awesome, thanks for writing about these ideals. Every bit of food should be enjoyed and eaten. how many go without food, especially in third world countries.
Thanks for taking time to read this post. But this post is about life and human aspects. You wrote about food. Does this related to something about food. I would love to know what you thought about this post. Thanks again.
one of the lines you quoted was
Eating food. So many eat food and waste it, especially in large gatherings and so on. so much of food is wasted thus. Food is part of life. I hope you understand
Yeah. Food is precious and we have to utilize it. We have to work on food management that it will not be wasted.
Thanks
