It is my aim to be the change I wish to see in the world and to encourage positive change at any opportunity. To attempt to be motivated rather than driven by external influences. To critically consider and filter out those influences which may be harmful to others or myself if manifested in my actions. To remember that only I can free myself of my mental cages. To appreciate the freedom I have while looking to maintain and improve on that for myself and others. To aspire for a more balanced self without expecting that it can ever be perfectly achieved. To use my socially inherited privilege to remove that privilege over others. To look at the bigger picture as much as I can, while still appreciating the small details. To avoid letting anxiety about the future or regrets of the past get in the way of being content in the present. To see and focus on the good in others, no matter the folly of their intentions or their actions, and to give them the benefit of the doubt so that we may learn from each other with open minds. To show the people who are a part of my life that I am not who I am without them. To not be afraid to be wrong and allow enough doubt in myself to notice and correct it when I am. To remember to be humble, as I am only another human who is just trying to figure it all out just as most of the rest of the humans who evolved a consciously thinking brain on an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Milky Way.
