A couple of years ago I took a seasonal job in Berkeley, California. Like most things, I love diving right into the adventure without sorting out all the details ahead of time. In this case, I arrived with the job lined up, but not the housing. Being only a summer gig, I felt that if … Continue reading The Radiance of Giving
Reflection
The Real Golden Rule
Let's get real. Many cultures and religions have taught the golden rule, so you have probably learned it at some point in your life. For those that haven't, it is a principle of treating others as you want to be treated. Seems quite simple right? So simple, that it seems like it could be hard … Continue reading The Real Golden Rule
Get Out
I haven't posted on here in awhile, but today seems fitting for me because it's my biggest reflection day of the year. Today happens to be the start of my 27th chapter on this planet! This time instead of just reflecting one year back as usual, I decided to go back almost a decade. So … Continue reading Get Out
The Missing Piece
Is there something missing in your life? Do you feel (un)fulfilled or have you checked in with yourself recently? Sometimes the questions we avoid asking ourselves, are the most important. Why? It's because they're scary. We're afraid of our own answers. Will what I say make me realize that I'm unhappy? Do I want to … Continue reading The Missing Piece
Being Audacious Will Open Your World
Dictionary.com defines "Audacity" as: boldness or daring, especially with confident or arrogant disregard for personal safety, conventional thought, or other restrictions. When I think about "audacity", I think: life goals. From my personal experience, I have noticed that one of my biggest limiting factors is my own mind. It's so much easier to use an excuse you created than to actually commit the action that you so fearfully backed out … Continue reading Being Audacious Will Open Your World

Why Traveling Has Benefited Both My Mind, and My Pocket
Saving up some cash for a "vacation" (I use this term loosely) can be difficult at times. I understand the feeling of watching your paycheck go into your bank account, and then leave soon after to pay bills. You start to wonder, where did all my money go? I couldn't have possibly spent everything I … Continue reading Why Traveling Has Benefited Both My Mind, and My Pocket
When I Grow Up I Want To…
Growing up, we would always fantasize about what our future careers might be. We would look up to our role models whether it be family, older friends, or maybe even people we saw in magazines or on television. Some children had a clear vision when they're young, and stick to it as they get older. … Continue reading When I Grow Up I Want To…
How Do You Compare?
Recently I spent two days at Alexandria Bay's nude beach located in Noosa National Park. This has been a desire of mine to disrobe and be naked amongst other people for a long time now. Before I go any further, I want to express my discontentment of how society has sexualized our bodies. Now it … Continue reading How Do You Compare?
Beware of FOMO
FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is an acronym that became popular in the past decade or so. I just know that it has greatly influenced my life and my decisions. There is a distinct difference between FOMO and the Opportunity Bus. You jump on the Opportunity Bus, which is a fleeting opportunity, only in circumstances … Continue reading Beware of FOMO
