Life Goals:





Ive never known what career path to take, or what my future will hold. Ive never had it figured out. But Im begininng to understand that, for me at least, its bigger than anything I thought. Its not about a cubicle and a nice paycheck. Security is nice, but I never want to be too comfortable, what fun is that?

Im not concerned with society's ideas of "success." Im not concerned with wealth really, or fame. I don't care about the status of my job, my title, or my family. I care about people and people's lives, I care about the earth, I care about God's plan for me, I care about good will, I care about art and music and expression. I care about relationships.

I want to really live. I want to feel new and intense and crazy things! I want to experience, I want to learn, I want to meet people, create bonds, share, confront, write, responf. I want to touch lives and make a difference. I want to be filled. I want to see things Ive never heard or dreamed of, I want to hear new sounds, I want to hear complete silence. I want to connect, I want to question, I want to expand, I want to LIVE.


"The longing for paradise is paradise itself." - Kahlil Gibran
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -Helen Keller
"There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way." - Christopher Morley

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
- Emily Dickinson
