Why?

I started this blog with a grand vision.  My life and experiences so far have given me a unique perspective on the “big topics” at a relatively young age.  I’ve experienced great joy and peace, worked hard to have personal and academic success, and enjoyed the love and support of a wide circle of friends and family.  I have seen the Northern Lights and gotten stuck in a desert, ziplined through a rainforest and walked the Path of the Gods.  But I have also experienced tragic loss, disappointment, and betrayal while making plenty of my own mistakes.  Guilt, fear, and anxiety are no strangers to me.  But neither are peace, hope, and love.

So I decided to blog about the things I see, and share my small wisdom in a way that isn’t preachy, isn’t accusatory, and isn’t all about me.  Life has shown me two main things:

1)      Peace and harmony are within our grasp, and with them we can attain our highest callings and bring forth our greatest dreams in service to humanity.

2)      It is EXTREMELY difficult to keep #1 in mind and act on it on a day-to-day basis.  And let’s face it, continuously failing to do this just plain sucks.
I hope to bridge the gap between the higher Truth of life that is within our reach, and the struggle we face in meshing this Truth with our daily routines. It’s admittedly a tall order, for a blog or for life. But the Truth and the struggle are all part of the journey, and I hope this blog can help you with your journey. Why?

Because the important things don’t have to be boring.

Because the fun things don’t have to be meaningless.

Because life is begging you to explore it.

Because finding the truth means finding common ground.

Because your mind needs a little stretch break.

Because everyone can use a little encouragement.

Because the truth is out there…

Let’s go find it.
