  • Description

    Treating life as an always moving forward journey, I enjoy the adventure of it all. Presently, I am driven by being a positive change in the larger picture. Whether it be doing my part by participating in a human rights movement, servicing others by helping them build up their home, or generally helping in any other way possible. Recently I was sitting among friends when I realized, while I am sitting here relaxing, there is a position that always needs filled; the helper. After that realization, I knew I had to go do one of the things I do best; help.

    Sitting in a meditation tends to provide clarity, refinement through reflection, and overall happiness. I tend to also find happiness hanging out behind the corners of my own curiosity. What can be experienced? Who can be helped? What could be read next? How much higher could I climb - what is the view up there?

    Motivated deeper by understanding the devastating impacts of natural disasters, I feel a purpose to go assists with cleanups, restoring hope, making deeper connections, enriching the minds around as much as my own, and continually uplifting those around me.

  • What else ...

    I was young and ambitious when my description was written. Five years later reading it and I'd comfortably say it's all still applicable. I've developed new skills, mindsets, interests, and more. Going many directions and having to always trust the process - I've set back out with a newfound ambition to see this big blue marble.
