Rob Greenfield Instagram – “Do not aspire beyond your scope and your own being.”
This is one of the lessons that Pitchi, the robin bird taught to the Anishinaabe people long ago.
When I read these words in Ojibway Heritage I felt a deep resonance.
Here was the robin bird, the very bird that I was named after, sharing with me one of the most simple, yet powerful lessons. And this lesson aligned with exactly what I had come to realize over the last few years.
I have been trying to do too much.
I have been aspiring beyond what I am capable of and I have been spread too thin.
I thought I could do it all.
In order to do more, I must do less.
I am pausing much of my programming for now – Free Seed Project, Community Fruit Trees, Websites for the People, Films for the People, The Food Forest Starter Bundle and The Grow Your Own Toilet Paper Initiative.
Since 2013, my activism has been to embark on extreme adventures that immerse me in issues that I am passionate about and that take others on the journey with me. I explore and I share my exploration through writing, speaking, videos and interviews with the media. At the same time I bring millions of people along on this journey. I am truly living my purpose in life, which is to live a life of truth and integrity, while inspiring, educating and empowering millions of others on this same path of truth and integrity through sustainable living.
I will be returning to putting my highest integrity and focus into my activism. In 2024 I will focus on living in a deep state of integrity with Earth, humanity and our plant and animal relatives. I will carry out numerous activism campaigns. I will write, speak, produce videos and do interviews with the media. I will support other humans in service. I will meet with colleagues and collaborate in spreading messages of positive change. Through living my message I will positively influence many of the fellow humans who I meet
I have written an extensive article sharing much of my experience and lessons from the last five years of taking on more than I could and coming back to balance. If you’d like a deeper insight into my life of service you can here: www.robingreenfield.org/scope
