Honesty, hard work, improving the lives of people and animals

What principles define how you live?

The principles I live by:

Improving the lives of others: creating value in how I work and produce things of value to other people, improving also the lives of animals and all sentient beings we share the planet with.

Expanding my consciousness to incorporate other living beings with love: Learning about what makes the world better. Humbly admitting when I’m wrong and challenging myself to understand people and their behavior even if I find it abhorrent or alien to my own values.

Working hard: Finding the way I can combine my work, skills and knowledge with what can help the world and being deliberate about daily, hourly, step-by-step actions to make things happen and to reach goals.

Being honest, open and vulnerable: Yet not giving an inch to those who have historically broken my trust and manipulated me.

Passionate advocacy: Advocating for people and animals who cannot advocate for themselves for reason of being too young, too old, disabled or sick or from being an animal without a human language.

Hopefully I will leave the world one day in slightly better shape than it was before I was here. Even if the world is deteriorating, at least I can say I fought long and hard, tooth and nail for a better world.
