CURRENT MISSION

To live life :)

ABOUT ME

I run my own business and am a practicing Buddhist in the Triratna Buddhist Community. I have a lot of interests and not enough time to pursue them all!

PHILOSOPHY

Some of these sayings sum things up quite nicely :)

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall being it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. -Emerson

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. -Buddha

Be the change you wish to see in the world. -Gandhi

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. -Buddha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
