What strikes me the most of your story is the unyielding passion that kept you on track your entire life. You were passionate enough in your quest to not stop or get lost in your quest, despite the no-boundaries and even often times risky approach that you took. As it happens when the journey is real; it seems to me that in the end you did not “find” your path, but that instead you created your path. As much as your credit your teachers, I credit you for what you have accomplished. - Victor Sanchez, Author & Founder of El Arte de Vivir A Propósito
