ABOUT ME

There is so much out there to see, do, learn, experience, and enjoy! I think it's a terrible thing to be like anyone else when we were all created differently for a reason. I believe in doing something unique and of only yourself daily... it's good for the soul =)

PHILOSOPHY

Other people are typically much more eloquent than I:

Most of us spend many hours each week watching celebrated athletes playing in enormous stadiums. Instead of making music, we listen to platinum records cut by millionaire musicians. Instead of making art, we go to admire paintings that brought in the highest bids at the latest auction. We do not run risks acting on our beliefs, but occupy hours each day watching actors who pretend to have adventures, engaged in mock-meaningful action. This vicarious participation is able to mask, at least temporarily, the underlying emptiness of wasted time. But it is a very pale substitute for attention invested in real challenges. The flow experience that results from the use of skills leads to growth; passive entertainment leads nowhere. Collectively we are wasting each year the equivalent of millions of years of human consciousness. The energy that could be used to focus on complex goals, to provide enjoyable growth, is squandered on patterns of stimulation that only mimic reality.
-Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
