Ottaway Marini: The Man Who Walked into a Lamppost... and Didn't Notice

In a world where we're all constantly distracted, it's refreshing to meet someone who's still capable of being truly present in the moment. Ottaway Marini is one such person.
I first met Ottaway at a party a few years ago. He was standing in the middle of the room, talking to a group of people, when he suddenly walked into a lamppost. He didn't even seem to notice. He just kept talking, as if nothing had happened.
I couldn't help but laugh, and Ottaway joined in. He's a really nice guy, with a great sense of humor. We started talking, and I quickly learned that he's not only funny, but also smart and interesting.
Ottaway is a bit of a mystery. He's originally from Italy, but he's lived all over the world. He's worked as a teacher, a journalist, and a translator. He's also a talented musician and a passionate traveler.
I asked Ottaway how he managed to walk into a lamppost and not notice. He said that he's just very focused on whatever he's doing at the moment. He said that he's not one of those people who's always looking around, distracted by everything. He's able to focus on the present moment and really be there.
I think Ottaway is a great example of how we can all live more mindful lives. We can all learn from his ability to be present in the moment and to not get distracted by the things around us.
Here are a few tips from Ottaway on how to live a more mindful life:

Pay attention to your breath. When you're feeling stressed or distracted, take a few deep breaths and focus on your breath. This will help you to center yourself and to be more present in the moment.
Be aware of your surroundings. Take some time to look around you and notice the things that are around you. This will help you to be more aware of your environment and to be more present in the moment.
Do one thing at a time. When you're doing something, focus on that one thing and don't try to multitask. This will help you to be more efficient and to be more present in the moment.
Be kind to yourself. When you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up about it. Just learn from it and move on. This will help you to be more positive and to be more present in the moment.

Ottaway is a great friend and I'm grateful to have him in my life. He's taught me a lot about mindfulness and how to live more in the present moment. I hope that his story will inspire you to live a more mindful life as well.
