When I was 21 (16 years ago) I was gifted with Hepatitis B and HIV. My doctor told me I had 2-3 years to live. Suddenly becoming an aerospace engineer wasn't so important! Finding what is important in life became my passion and it became my life goal.

I am now 37, should die of a natural death, am a Buddhist monk in the Tibetan tradition and I get to meditate full time in the woods (plus OPB:-) I have found fulfillment is right within your own heart. No one and no job can give this, because we already have it! We simply need to learn how to uncover it.
