Practical Results

The path doesn't exist. It is created with each step you take.

Let me rewind. The purpose of this blog was to document a journey in thought and in action through the wilderness of a 27-year-old's search for meaning. I knew that canceling my MBA applications to pursue a passion I had minimal formal training in would force me to reach beyond my familiar means and notions of how to progress towards a typical goal. One of the very first steps I took led me to Asia to learn meditation with Buddhist monks. This next step has led me to becoming a researcher at Harvard University. I understand the means I'm using to advance down this path are not those typically publicized in the news, advocated by mom and dad, nor suggested in any career-hunter's guide -- the only means I use are those dictated by my intuition. Why? Because my intuition is smarter than I am. Huh?

My workload is increasing as well as my understanding. My brain is being inundated with so much information that it's exploded and right now I'm on the floor trying to pick up all the pieces. I'll post more updates soon when I begin making more sense of what's transpiring. Besides, there is always a bit more juice to squeeze out of these experiences. A big thank you to those who have - and are - supporting me.

The journey is getting interesting. Stay tuned.

  3. Sometimes it's you vs. them:

    However, they are only reflections upon which the shadow of your own beliefs and opinions are reflected back to you. Whatever you do, don't forget your sunscreen:
