After staring at the wall for a few minutes thinking how to start, I got it. This is my inaugural post and writing as it seems fun and exciting except for my annoying antique keyboard which works when and how it wants. After all I'm writing because I like words, I like the subtle meaning of them. They express things, which cannot be told. And most importantly which cannot take back once they're out in the air. I've been thinking, why in the world would I reveal my innermost feelings and thoughts at large? The reasoning is yet quiet simple. It is that humble sensation I get by revealing myself out loud.
The majority of people really do believe this. Common thought goes: Perform well, and then just wait ~ wait for good things, a good college, a good job, a good community, a good man to choose you. But the closer you get to the real world, the more you will realize this is not always the case. And how quickly this way of thinking, actually leads down a path of restlessness rather than discovery. You can either sit around waiting for opportunities and relationships, or you could cultivate them.

And when I look to Lord Buddha for guidance, I see someone who made choices. Someone who created the community which desired and changed the world because of it. So, these days I believe something different: GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE. And when I think about it, that’s all I really want. Waiting got me nowhere, while choosing at least allows me a fighters chance to experience a journey of purpose, beauty and grace. I can't tell you exactly where - but if you jump off the cliff, what I can promise you - is that you will land SOMEWHERE.
