Indelible Creative Group is poised to release the latest project from Erwin Raphael McManus, Wide Awake, on DVD July 1st.

McManus, one of the nation’s most respected and influential authors and speakers, challenges and inspires us to live each moment to its fullest through four compelling short vignettes. Viewers experience what are considered the eight crucial attributes needed to successfully achieve their goals and live an inspired life. The Wide Awake DVD will be released to Canadian Christian retail the same time as the book.

In this short film, eight attributes are explored that are essential to accomplish the life that one has been craving. These crucial elements: Dream, Discover, Adapt, Expect, Focus, Create, Enjoy and Invest, allow each and every person to awaken his or her individual, passionate motivation in life. These four short films creatively illustrate the subject matter, followed by McManus narrating a conversation set to motivate us to pay attention to our dreams. Most people spend their lives half-asleep, never realizing what is deep within to find their reason for living. If one would just reach inside, discover what is already in us and approach life “wide awake”, his or her dreams have the ability to make the world a better place.

To quote McManus, “The future is not waiting for us, it is waiting within us.”
