ABOUT ME

I'm a free spirit, I believe that if you treat people with respect, you'll be treated the same.

PHILOSOPHY

Every day I try to be kinder, more compassionate and to play down the negative forces within me. Every day I try to be a better person, and to be less desiring, less hating, less judging of others and to feel myself closer to humanity and all living things. This is the way I have chosen to live. By doing so, I have successfully cultivated a form of non-attachment in my life which works for me. And in many ways, I consider it to be a good life and a life worth living.

Your life is what your thoughts make it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was volunteering in The Philippines at an orphanage and was overwhelmed by the loved from the kids who although had nothing still had an amazing spirit.
Life may be filled with setbacks but essentially your life is what your thoughts make it. I love for them.

Another amazing moment that left me awestruck is when I climbed mt. vesuvius and when my team won first place in the Toronto Dragon boat competition.
