Hawai'i: Day 2 - Exquisite

Here on these picturesque isles, every moment seems so much more alive. There is a strong feeling of camaraderie living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It's as if all my worries float away in this warm and happy Ohana. Of course I am only on a vacation, so my pleasantry is biased. During my conversations with a Stanford, Brown, and Berkeley graduate on a beautiful porch overlooking Waikiki and the Pacific, i realized how life just sort of.... happens. Yes, I need to work hard. Yes I need to focus. But worry is nowhere in that equation. I have been blesssed with so much opportunity, friendship, and talent in my life, yet fear and worry debilitate me. The people who are truly happy are those who live their lives to the fullest. The people who don't complain and who find happiness in life. I am happy to say that I don't need a huge mansion to fulfill my happiness, but I am picky about location. Yet the more I travel the more I appreciate each locale. Every person and place has a unique and wonderful story. I can make my impact on the world through determination love and faith. Everything will work out fine. I must just let go of all the weary bitter expectations and focus on life as it is.
