One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the Big Buddha; drove through the Oregon coast; walked on the pyramids; saw myself in others.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I know for sure:

1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what.

2. If you don't define your own life, others will do it for you.

3. When people show you who they are, believe them the fist time.

4. Trust your instincts; intuition doesn't lie.

5. Love doesn't hurt. It feels really good.

6. When in doubt, do not do anything.
