It is odd that I should run across your email now, b/c I just made my first vision board as popularized on the Oprah Show! I have many talents but my passion is Daoism! My purpose in life is to find a Master who will agree to teach me me over the internet, the mail, and by phone, since I cannot leave my Husband leave my Husband who is extremely ill and cannot be left alone. Thanks to my practice of Daoism, I am not as ill as I used to be used to be. I know that in traditional Daoism there are no female Priests, but my ultimate goal is to get ordained and a new sect of Western Daoism that would adhere to the sect of Shang-Ch'ing far as possible but go back to Daoism's egalitarian roots.

It seems that men and women want completely different things from eachother. It is my passion to solve this puzzle... to bring men and women together in a way that honors both of them.... instead of living in marriages filled with dishonesty and resentment.... that simply make no sense.

I have pondered that saying and have looked at it from another viewpoint. "The path from hell is also marked by good intentions. " So if it is an intention to try and make the world a better place as best we can and for whatever motivation I'm in for the journey. I know what I am leaving and am excited at what I might find. A little saying I thought was really funny. An optimist thinks this is the best world possible whilst the pessimist hopes it isn't. There is an old saying that says “The road to hell

Once I started listening to my heart, I discovered that I am very capable of delivering and being a gift to others. My first passion as a fashion designer was fulfilled and that led me to my next passion, to be of service to children in need of health and education. I created my non-profit organization to help millions, with a focus on being a solution to children with disabilities and have them be included and accepted by society at large. I am committed that places be designed and developed where they explore their abilities that will permit them to discover the world regardless of what others see as limitations. I will raise the funds to make this dream live long after I am gone, and that is my cause for living passionately. To follow one’s passion is the greatest gift that one can

What about people who have been programmed to run the races of violence, war, racism (a vast majority of them your own countrymen I might add) and perpetuating the bullshit of the media, making us want and desire things that have no instrinsic meaning. What about the unevolved greed based industry of men who are no more than mice? You proposing I ignore all that, follow my life's purpose, become a bullshit guru like you and make a lot of money and add people to my email list and show them all how great I am because I am spiritual instead of being materialistic? Would love to find your answers and how you propose to mix profit with pleasure with passion with purpose. To me they are all polar opposites at times. Thank you Sandeep. All sounds very fascinating, interesting, true, very lovey dovey….
