I do not possess any dazzling intellectual abilities, but I make an effort to put my heart into whatever task lies before me. Learning about anything and everything is my passion, and I never wish to stop.
I don’t pretend to know all the answers to the questions of life, but I believe that each day is a miracle in and of itself. To me, there has to be something bigger that makes people choose to love and feel and create...
I’m not one of arresting beauty, but I’ve come to realize that one’s character and attitude are what matters most.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Every moment is yours and yours alone to experience and embrace.
I’m not the most gifted musician to walk the planet. Making music, though, is both a source of joy in my life and a significant part of my identity. Watching others perform always leaves me inspired.
I enjoy finding beauty in others; I discover it in every encounter.
I've never understood the reason for the pain and hardship in the world, and I don't think I ever will. I cannot comprehend why innocent people suffer harm, live in destitution, and experience bitter oppression, while I live a life of health, opportunity, and freedom. I am trying to find my place in a world laced with hatred and division. I hope to have the chance to minimize the suffering around me.
I am making an effort to do at least one thing each day that intimidates me. When we penetrate “the unfamiliar” and explore beyond our limits, we grow.
Sometimes I can be selfish. I become bogged down with my own petty concerns and desires. With each day, I learn that life is much more than pleasing myself and securing my happiness – instead, it is about learning to love others more fully and helping them to see how incredible and full of potential they are. We really are all in this together - none of us is meant to live a life of isolation.
We'll see if I can keep up with this! bisous.
