“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken yourself. If you want to eliminate suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative within yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is your own self-transformation.” - Lao Tzu
Transform yourself. Transform the world. - Slogan of Naropa University
“We're not on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves. But in doing that you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes.”
- Joseph Campbell
“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”
- Mohatma Gandhi

Personal excellence in service to others
The sentiment is well known: the only thing we have any real effective control over is ourselves, so in the never-ended quest to better the world and reduce the suffering of others, our best course of action is to be the best we can be.
This is my life, the relentless search for personal excellence, spiritually, mentally, physically, and ecologically. I write about this journey and share what I learn.
The most basic form of empowerment is often physical, so I also plan to offer coaching in natural movement and health.
Down the road, I hope to deepen my understanding of Buddhism and wilderness experience to add those elements to what I can offer people in the way of coaching. I am planning a formal study of Tibetan Buddhism in India later in 2013, and to begin an MA in Ecopsychology in the summer.
