What I am committed to
I am taking a stand to live a life of contribution by making a positive and powerful impact on the world.
I am committed to opening you to the possibility of discovering your deepest purpose, living a fully expressed life filled with peace, love, well-being, courage and integrity.
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children … to leave the world a better place … to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
My deepest Intention
I intend to create a movement of people who want to make the world a better place whilst also improving their own lives.
Have you ever wondered how you could make the world a better place?
How you can somehow make a difference to the people around you, whilst at the same time have the best possible life yourself?
I have been asking myself these questions all of my life and a while ago reached the conclusion that it was up to me and all of us to make it happen.
From the time I used to give away my pencils to poor African children at school during my childhood days in Kenya to the days when I spent many weeks helping out at a charity school in South India, I felt called to do something for others.
It took me many years of working in the corporate world before a series of painful life changing experiences led me to do what I do know.
Learn more about how experiencing unconditional love for the first time during my visit to Nirvana School in South India, changed my life forever.
Call it destiny or fate, it seemed I was born to contribute and make a difference to others.
However, I now know that ALL of us have this same desire and calling to leave the world a better way in some way. At the same time, we all wish to grow in our lives and make the most of our time here.
My intention is to help you do just that – make the most of your lives and at the same time make a profound difference in the world.
All of us have this deep down desire to leave a lasting legacy for the generations to come.
At the same time, I believe that by being the best we can, we fulfil our destiny on earth and also leave the world a better place.
Surely that is not much to ask for?!
