ABOUT ME

I am trying to enjoy every single moment of my life.

Pushing myself beyond the boundaries (of what's known and comfortable) and discovering something new is always a challenge, but always so rewarding! Spontaneity is now one of my favourite concepts.

PHILOSOPHY

A ship is safe in harbor, but thats not what ships are built for..

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing…"

"Happiness needs sadness. Success needs failure. Benevolence needs evil. Love needs hatred. Victory needs defeat. Pleasure needs pain. You must experience and accept the extremes. Because if the contrast is lost, you lose appreciation; and when you lose appreciation, you lose the value of everything.."

"Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly" Robert F. Kennedy

I know it's a cornball thing but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? I say fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived... Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike…

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Beverly Sills

Sometimes it proves the highest understanding not to understand.
Baltasar Gracian

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
― Thomas A. Edison

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
