More About Me

I'm passionate about

Music, religion and nature. We are destroying our habitats and stagnating instead of going forward, and the intellectual habits religion creates are partly to blame.

  A comment on Conversation: What are 5 things you have learned that has completely changed your life?

  Jun 19 2012: 1. I can do anything if I really apply myself to it.
  2. There are only 24 hours a day, and only that many days in a life. Which means potential is nice, but it's worth nothing without focus.
  3. Watch your mind. The ability to quiet your thoughts is the most important one you can acquire.
  4. Listen to your gut feeling, especially when it's very faint.
  5. The things i fear most or am procrastinating are the ones I most need to do. Fear (except when talking about real danger of course) is often a sign you need to push yourself to do.
