I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable the video was and the message is very clearly and directly applicable to how we carry ourselves in day-to-day life.

If you perform your actions single-mindedly and with purpose, you will find that they become easier and more efficient. It is not a question of exerting more effort, but exerting it in such a way that none goes to waste.

Love this since I saw it ages ago, and despite a bit of Burrough's woo, it helped me to be careful, and strive for physical grace, in the things I'm doing. Personally, I tended to physical extravagance, and enjoyed that as a goofy hyper teen, all edges and elbows. This provided a surprising rationale and reminder to move more carefully. Now, I reconsider when I find myself flailing or thrashing, so that instead of pushing harder, or searching for bigger hammers and longer levers, I pause and reconsider. It's a bit of nonviolence to the world that results in care for yourself, with impacts like walking more gracefully, or remembering to turn a wrench so that you don't injure yourself when it slips.
