A Walking Contest: It’s Something Most Of Us Have Probably Done, But May Now Want To Change
We live in a world that praises competition. Whether it be in sports, the workplace, or even in social settings we regularly compete with one another both externally and within our minds. At one level, competition can be an exhilarating experience as it serves as a great motivator to push ourselves to accomplish more and more. But at another level is competition also pushing us as a human race farther and farther away from one another? This short video shows us a simple internal competition that I’m sure most of us have done at one point at least, I know I certainly have on various occasions. Check it out:

Directed, shot and edited by Vania Heymann ‘Walking Contest’ is in my opinion a powerful & very well done short film that uses a seemingly harmless relatable experience to share a powerful message. The film’s final line really says it all:
Why can’t we walk together? I think it would be very cool.
As awesome as individualism and the celebration of our own accomplishments can be, it really seems as if the time for us all to come together is upon us. In so many realms of life, so many of us are starting to feel a need for change and even though that change always starts within, change on a massive scale always starts together.
