My recent realization:

I should put my life energy into charity (helping others), not partying (distractions/escapism), not killing (mindless obedience....contributing to doing harm to others). But this is a hard goal to live up to.

I recently took a 5 month sabbatical and did what I love in life. Helping others. Having a meaning and purpose in life. I sacrificed going to Burning man this year because I put my money towards my own travel and living costs....Now I am broke and back at a paying job. But it was worth the risk and experiences. Here is a little of what I did:I recently took a 5 month sabbatical and did what I love in life. Helping others. Having a meaning and purpose in life.

But it was worth the risk and experiences. Here is a little of what I did:

I worked at H.I.P.S.(Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive) in Washington D.C. I helped out in the office and did handy-man tasks, I also got a better understanding of sex workers and how to relate to them on a personal level.

I traveled to Kenya, East Africa this last July and volunteered at the Kibwezi Youth Polytechnic . I renewed my spirituality and faith in God. Not to mention I danced and sang in languages that I didn't understand...but it was great.

I also went to Honduras and volunteered with an NGO called Hope for Honduran Children. Look it up on the internet and go too.

Everybody needs to stay involved... make a difference in other people's lives!
