A good life is an intentional life.
I will not define myself simply as a reaction to who others want me to be. Nor be ruled by meaningless distraction or maniacal busyness without purpose.
I am here to live, not surrender. To embrace meaning. To love unconditionally. To give without expectation. To settle into solitude. To make meaning. To participate, not watch. To create, not copy. To be unapologetically me. To rise up, and help others rise.
I believe that this moment seeds every moment. Vulnerability is a virtue. Life is growth, stagnation is death. Presence beats presents. Compassion is a gateway to connection.
Life is a co-creative process. With rare exception, everything is better when it’s shared.
These things I know. These things, on my best days, I aspire to live. And, yes, I am now and always will be a work in progress. It’s called being human.
A good life is not a place at which I arrive, it is a lens through which I see and create my world. It is lived this moment. And the next. And the next.
Let’s do this!
