CURRENT MISSION

I only have a current mission in the sense that I'm lying on my back in the current of the river of life, looking at the clouds and going with the flow

ABOUT ME

I never know what to write for these type of things. I'm a very open minded and chilled out guy. You will hardly ever find me stressed about anything. I have yet to figure out if that is a good or bad thing. I laugh easily and get along with just about anyone. I love outdoor activities and my latest (of and endless list of) hobbies is dual sport and adventure motorbiking. I'm mechanically minded and love getting my hands dirty. I also coach rowing and have found inspiring people to be addictive. Feel free to ask if you want to know more.

PHILOSOPHY

Right now at this stage in my life, happiness is key and that is what I strive to. Cliched but live and let live. You are the god of your own universe. In the words of Richard Bach: "You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however." So if you want something bad enough, make it happen. And nothing is ever the end of the world, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Live. Travel. Love. Forgive. And don't look back.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Spent 6 nights in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Here there are no fences and no weapons permitted. It is a super humbling experience having only a fire and the watchful eyes of yourself and your 5 peers with you to keep you safe from the wildlife.
Pushed myself physically and mentally through a sport and realized the true strength and determination of the human soul and mind and the true meaning of "team work" even through constant failure and disappointment.
Put my life with in a hairs width of possible ending, naive and stupid many will argue. I was able to see its true value a bit more clearly and also come closer to terms with just how easily it can all end.
Sorry that's three things.
