Thank you Justine & Michael đ
Expectations. We all expect things in life. Whether from other people, from ourselves, or from situations. However, when we make our decisions based on the expectations of those around us, we start to live our lives in a state of obligation. And when we do that, we are not truly living.
What would it be like if we were to live our truth, speak our mind and live a life that truly has meaning for us? What would it be like to start being honest with ourselves, and following our hearts?
Itâs time take ownership and make choices for you. Because ultimately, this is your life.
Filmed at Shiyalongubo Dam, South Africa.
Featuring Nick Nyalungu (@nyalungu_afrikanretreat).
All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth â that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

You can also sign up to take part in the Reflections of Life Intentional Journey, receiving a digital copy of each card direct to your email, over a consecutive 52 day period - inous.org/reflections-of-life-intentional-email-journey
