CURRENT MISSION

To develop as a human being and to play my role in this crazy world

ABOUT ME

I think the biggest compliment I've ever received was: "You're so much more attuned to life than most guys our age."

I spend a great deal of time observing and learning about myself.

I am a seeker of experience and truth.

I've found meaningful experiences through relationships, isolation, storms, starlight, holy places, and hard work.

I love connecting and sharing with the world around me.

In my free time I read, write, meditate, interact with people, learn, and just do whatever there is to do.

PHILOSOPHY

We all seek to encounter happiness and avoid suffering.
Happiness is the goal of life.
Real happiness is achieved though compassion for all beings.
Compassion for all beings is the goal of life.

Actions are greater than words. Intention is greater than outcome. How (means) is greater than what (ends).

Contentment is the ultimate form of wealth.

Happiness is distinct from pleasure.

Experience is everything.

Adopt whatever activities you know to be pure and wholesome and discard whichever activities you know to be impure and unwholesome.

With our thoughts and intentions we create the realities in which we live.

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." - Buddha

"Because people, minds, and all other phenomena change moment by moment, it opens up the potential for positive development. If situations did not change, they would forever retain the nature of suffering. Once you understand that things are always changing, even if you are going through a very difficult period, you can find comfort in knowing that the situation will not remain that way forever. There is no need for frustration." - The Dalai Lama
