Final Set Point…

My Set Point:

…A daily work in progress

My Stand:

–          I will enjoy the moments I have with my loved ones. To make them feel as special everyday as they make me feel. To live each day as if it were my last and to not take the small, everyday moments for granted. I will seek new opportunities that follow my passions and not let fear, self-doubt, or the voices of others sway me. When I face obstacles and failures, I will understand that it is a part of life and look for the lessons I can learn.

–          I will work every day to remember to follow my dreams and to foster the same in others. Through acts of kindness, charity, and honest reflection I will work to leave a positive lasting contribution on the global community. I will appreciate nature and seek to preserve our environment so that future generations will have the same opportunities as I did. Lastly, I will remain open and respect different ideas and thoughts and I will seek knowledge to continue my journey of self-discovery.

My Passion:

–          I enjoy good food, music, and literature alone and with my friends and family. I want to live a worthy life where I am constantly seeking ways to improve the lives of those around me. It is important to not only take care of yourself but to also help others achieve their dreams.
