“A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.” -Buddha
One of my favorite quotes has always been that The Journey to a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step. The ultimate truth is that we all have a limited time, we know that our time is not infinite and yet we as mortals live life as immortals. Living each day at a time, doing what we want to do without realizing that the bigger picture is to LIVE FOR OTHERS.
So today, I encourage you to be a Picasso at what you do. The Michelangelo of your dreams and to accomplish what even the gods envy. To do the impossible through sheer determination. Live, Fly and be the Best and spread Love, Peace and Awesomeness to everyone you come across.
With Love, Hugs and Well Wishes.

Some very inspiring quotes by the noblest of men. The Ultimate Truth is What We do for others.
Waking up to the many well wishes and pictures of the celebration of the Chinese New Year on Facebook and rejoicing in starting the Year of the Snake, I have been thinking about some important notions that surround us today.
1 – We live in a globalized world. We have to think beyond our own boxes and our own surroundings, we learn through others and share what we have with them.
2 – Humanity will embrace every thing positive and will take every chance to be a part of new beginnings, where the Old is left behind and New makes the path ahead.
3 – United States is a true example of how we live in a Melting Pot where we are PEOPLE before being Europeans, Chinese, Indians, Catholics, Christians, Hindus or Jews. We celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Diwali, Chinese New Year and remember great leaders that have shaped our future such as Dr. Martin Luther King and President Abraham Lincoln to name a few. Where we see people as people, despite the cultural, religious and color of our skins that make us unique and different. We importantly embrace humanity over all other denominations.
4 – How those truly leave a better world behind are truly those that have shaped Humanity for a better tomorrow. The work of Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Bill & Malenda Gates Foundation in conjunction with Rotary International and President Bill Clinton through his Clinton Foundation is shaping the world to leave a better tomorrow.
As I have been thinking about this more today, I am reminded of what our founding fathers build this great nation on.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
I wish you the Very Happiness, which is truly the Highest form of Health and an important purpose of life.
Happy Chinese New Year of the Snake or as the Chinese would say “Kung hei fat Choi”

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” – Steve Jobs
There is greatness in everyone of us, The biggest lie is to believe there is not. We are all people who bring a unique aspect to our selves, our lives and those around us. To enrich others and to build them as better people for everyone should be the main goal of every living being.
