• A reply on Conversation: How do we embrace vulnerability?

  Jun 19 2011: The question was "How do you embrace vulnerability?" The question did not ask, "What can we do to make a better human?" Accepting that vulnerability exists can give motivation to strengthen yourself.

• A comment on Conversation: Risks are important. But how do you decide which ones are worth taking and when to be more calculative.

  Jun 5 2011: Sometimes you have to make a decision whether or not you know the outcome. In my experience, I feel out what is right through practice. Over time I have learned that even a "failed" risk was just what needed to happen in order for me to move to the next task. So, I believe with the proper idea in place all risks become desirable. "Good" and "bad". I just need to decide on how I am going to accept these risks before I engage in a risky situation.

  A comment on Conversation: What motivates you?

  Jun 5 2011: What motivates me everyday, is not knowing what is going to happen next. Making choices moment by moment and watching the day unfold. In my opinion, life is about experience and creating. So with that in mind, I welcome each experience and create an understanding of that experience so I can work towards being the highest thought of myself.
