That's always true all over the world. The current system, however, forces you to keep pace with the kind of life they want you to live. You step outside the system, and you become isolated. The question is, how could you best serve the greater good? By isolating yourself, or by accepting the rules imposed on us by the system? You are not always in charge of how the world functions, but you are always in control of how you relate and react to that.
"you don't have to keep pace with life, you make it work for you." I heard this and I'm holding back tears right now. These are the words of a person who reached the point of frustration and has come through with some hard earned wisdom. I'm almost done being on the terms of culture and consumerism. Not there yet but you sure helped me go a little further.
Hi from a fellow taxi guy in Kirkcaldy. Like you l believe in Karma and always try to do the right thing and more. Hope the current situation is not affecting you too badly. A man at peace with himself is a positive contribution to planet earth.
People will find this channel in time. The universe will lead them here when they are ready , like i did. To be young , still 15 and being able to see this and knowjng your channel , it is such a blessing isn't it. Thank you :) love, claire
tea geek Ah Claire, what a blessing to have found this at your age. I am 68 and have just discovered these films.The man in this story was speaking my truth too, just trying to be a good person. And connecting with people, I will talk to anyone, and people love to talk to me. I may not be able to do anything else but smile, listen and share, and many times, that is enough. I wish you a long, blessed life. Kaye in Australia 🇦🇺
This is my dream, to live in the Hebrides, Isle of Skye, or Eigg, or even Fair Isle! A little cottage is all I’d want...well maybe a lovely and kind Scottish gentleman like Charlie too. Sigh.
I think I smiled through the whole video. Thanks, GR for introducing me to Charlie. Thanks, Charlie for sharing your thoughts. I DO believe every word you said!
Earlier this year i just found my power and confidence to communicate, more open, more extrovert. Because i am an extrovert, just didn't have the right surroundings until now. I love talking to people :)
Charlie you're the best! I'm the wee lass who nearly blew your taxi up with my camping gas. Wishing you well my friend. XxX What a gorgeous video of my favourite place in the world. Thank you Green Renaissance!
@Zoe - So glad that you found our channel, and that you enjoyed Charlie's story. He is such a crazy character and we loved spending time with him. And Eigg Island is truly a special place :)
I relate to the cow traffic 😂 I live on Matakana Island population 250 in New Zealand, one barge twice a day to the mainland.....it's completely untouched. Very privileged
What Charlie said is so true and wise . I believe every word he says !!! I hope he is doing alright despite the current pandemic and visitors are still going to Eigg Island. Thank you for sharing Charlie and to GR
Same here. Watching videos like this and listening to Celtic music really stirs that longing. I feel like a lot of people with Scottish descent who live in other parts of the world presently feel the pull as well.
Hello sir...🙏🏼Though I am younger 36 years old....but every word you told in this video is resembling true about life n how to live a life as how it has to be..like spending time for ourself with people around and enjoy every moment as it is...😁🤝🖐️👍
Thank you for these kind of films green renaissance.. the world needs this now more than ever.. Never have i felt blessed to live this life until i came across your videos!
@lennevey kinidi - This is a powerful comment - thank you - and the credit really must go out to each of these characters who share moments of their lives with us - without them sharing their personal story, we'd have nothing to make films with.. x
@S R - Hello nearby 'neighbour'. We're based down in South Africa, so it's great to hear from you here. So glad that you enjoyed this film. And hopefully one day we can make our way to your beautiful country to make some films there too. We'd love that! Hugs to you, Justine x
@mike mcalister - Spending time with Charlie while filming this story was amazing - we were regularly in fits of laughter. We hope that you're enjoying the other films on our channel as well. And so much more still to come, so keep tuned in. Justine x
Once again a heart warming production that makes you appreciate what matters in life. Shaking hands and hugging... how people are meant to interact with each other, touch is one of the most important senses. I will continue to do these most human of things regardless of what the ‘authorities’ would have us believe that we're merely just carriers of disease.
Beautiful island, beautiful and simple life for this man. That's so very true, today many need human contact instead of the technology contact. It's much better and warmer. Love it! TFS
A beautiful film and an honourable and sincere man who has found a path to reach his own personal magic in life. Great inspiration for anyone who has had that wake up call, or about to get one!
So nice listening to this happy man, detached from the digital world which is swallowing you and me, and dehumanizing us. A good hand shake is a good hand shake. A warm smile is something we all look forward to but have forgotten to make the first move. People like him are the richest. Thank you for this short but meaningful film/ RADHA NAIR/INDIA
Sincere, honest, and totally thought provoking. A simple and easy life with good people and good values. What has technology done for us!? Youre a great man Charlie! I am honoured to have discovered you!Mind blown!
Yes, a great film and a beautiful island, this Eigg island!!! And I love the taxi driver, the great Scotsman! I don’t know his name! He just seems so friendly, and I like everything he says, I think it is so true! I bet he doesn’t meet a stranger! Thank you very much!
Oh, how I needed Charlie's story this week! Yes, Yes, Yes, Charlie!!! What true and wise words you speak about what matters and how it so often takes a big wake-up call to "get it". Your joyful spirit comes right off the screen and I'd be chomping at the bits to get your story filmed if I found myself in the back of your car. I'm so happy life brought you and Green Renaissance together. Imagining all the beautiful interactions which unfold in your life now makes me want to put a hidden camera in your car and capture them all!
Linda - you have the most magical way with words, adding a dimension to our films that I truly value. I love hearing about your view on each story. Please don't stop sharing your precious words with us - we love it, truly! So THANK YOU xxx
I don't know how I got here, but I like it. We need more of these islands. I've got almost the same kind of job, but in a city, but you have the same opportunity to connect to people.
@Julie Metaxa - YAY Julie, so glad that this story could bring extra sparkle to your day. And don't you worry, we're working on so much more that we'll keep sharing regularly. 💚
"You don't have to keep pace with life, you make it work for you."
I'll always remember that. Thank you.
They are nice words, very inspiring.
Very true

The richest man is not he who has the most but he who needs the least!
The rich man is he who is happy with what he has
When you watch a video and become homesick for a place and the people you've never met... Thank you!
I feel this too
I feel the same
Exactly
Yes!

That man knows the secret of life, I hope to be like that some day.
Don't just hope! Just Do It...If you want life to change you have to change it. God bless you.

@@kalayne6713 your message means a lot :) Godbless and namaste
I’m sorry but I found the video to be quite boring. I wasn’t interested in it.
I found it, hello from New Zealand 😁
Wow! Such beautiful messages. I would love to shake that man's hand. I also bet he could give one hell of a hug. He is terrific.
@Chiefonelung - How did you know? He gives AMAZING hugs :)
The word needs more people like him.
Let's all be like him, and even better.❣❣
💚
He's living a life where other people crave: a serene and contented life.
This is my dream, to live in the Hebrides, Isle of Skye, or Eigg, or even Fair Isle! A little cottage is all I’d want...well maybe a lovely and kind Scottish gentleman like Charlie too. Sigh.
I'd like to meet this man, ride on his taxi and have a real conversation, And I think this Island in Scotland is a beautiful one.
Charlie has life figured out. Hell of a guy
A man of immense wealth. Respect for answering your instincts and calling.
I showed this video to a bunch of kids at school. Never seen teenagers so quiet. Charlie gets it.
So great - Carlie really does get it. Thanks for showing the kids at school ..
Lovely film and what a beautiful place to live.
Our next film, that we'll be releasing in two weeks time, was also filmed on the Isle of Eigg - so stay tuned in for that release on Wednesday xx
Thank you. For some reason, this made made me cry.
Everything about it was beautiful --- the words, the cinematography 💚
@Sakti Violy Kumar - Thank you x
Scotland looks so peaceful and people like him, make me want to visit one day
I think I smiled through the whole video. Thanks, GR for introducing me to Charlie. Thanks, Charlie for sharing your thoughts. I DO believe every word you said!
