I proclaim I am the living embodiment of positivity and optimism, but how life teaches you spiritual growth is a daily lesson<br />
I ran into my friend today and the person holds no grudge or animosity towards me<br />
It was always me holding a grudge within myself… with myself on how I handle the situation<br />
What a REALIZATION…<br />
What a CATHARTIC moment…<br />
I felt relieved and FREE…because my friend forGIVEd me and freed me from my own thoughts<br />
I was HEALED<br />
Now begins the journey of ForGIVEness with myself and with my FRIEN<br />
<br />
May you begin your own journey of self forgiveness…<br />
<br />
With Love<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A lot of people are wondering whether they should juice, or blend. My answer is<strong> both</strong>! Here’s why:</span></div>
<div class="post-1161 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-health category-recipes tag-health-2 tag-healthy-recipes tag-juice tag-recipes-2 entry" style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 40px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Juicing</span></strong></div>
<div class="post-739 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-health tag-beauty tag-blending tag-curlyhair tag-encouragement tag-health-2 tag-health-and-beauty tag-healthy-food tag-healthy-recipes tag-inspiration tag-juice tag-juicing tag-smoothie tag-vegetables entry" style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 40px;">
<div class="entry-content" style="overflow: hidden;">
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When you juice, the pulp is separated from whole fruit or vegetable. So it gives you all of the nutrients of the fruits and vegetables, but without the fiber. This makes it easier for the nutrients to get into your blood stream and throughout your body. It nourishes, strengthens, cleanses and purifies the blood and lymph system. A famous nutritionist, Dr. Schulze, even says its like a blood transfusion! Since there is no fiber, the juice is easily and quickly digested. Also, juicing is an efficient way to get a large amount of fruits in vegetables. Like my beet juice for instance. I juice 1 beet, 3 stalks of celery, 3 carrots, 1 apple, and some ginger. I would never be able to actually eat all of that at once!!! Or even want to. So instead, juicing provides an easy way for me to do so. </span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The only thing with juicing is that you have to make sure you don’t blend too many fruits without enough vegetables. This can cause sugar spikes due to the high concentration of fruits (healthy, natural sugars can still be bad if its too much–dizziness, energy loss, etc). So also juice your fruits with veggies!</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span class="pibfi_pinterest" style="display: block; position: relative;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-751" height="314" src="http://heygorjess.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/green-juice.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; max-width: 100%; transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out;" width="450" /><span class="xc_pin" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out; background-image: url(http://heygorjess.com/wp-content/plugins/pinterest-pin-it-button-for-images/ppibfi_button.png); cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 50px; left: 445px; margin-left: -1px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; top: 5px; transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out; width: 80px;"></span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Blending</span></strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I know what you’re thinking, isn’t fiber good for you? Yes! Very! And you <em>need </em>it. So that is why you should blend as well. You get all that good fiber in the green smoothies! Blending uses the entire fruit as opposed to just the water. This makes smoothies a good meal replacement. Many times I’ll only have smoothies for breakfast. The fiber helps to <em>slowly </em>digest the nutrients into your blood stream. This then prepares your body to eat heavy meals later on in the day. They are also very filling!</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Also the fiber prevents those sugar rushes that can happen with juicing!</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span class="pibfi_pinterest" style="display: block; position: relative;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-747" height="643" src="http://heygorjess.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/IMG_27711.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; max-width: 100%; transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out;" width="480" /><span class="xc_pin" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out; background-image: url(http://heygorjess.com/wp-content/plugins/pinterest-pin-it-button-for-images/ppibfi_button.png); cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 50px; left: 460px; margin-left: -1px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; top: 5px; transition: opacity 0.2s ease-out; width: 80px;"></span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Benefits of Both</span></strong></div>
<ul style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Removes toxins<strong> </strong></span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Provides clearer, glowing skin</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Strengthens and helps grow hair</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gives more energy and better mood</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Helps with allergies</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Helps lose weight</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall, I am definitely going to do both. Ideally, I want to make my smoothies in the morning as my breakfast, and juices <em>with</em> my lunch! (If I have time for making both each day). Remember juicers are more like a supplement, not a meal.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope this helps and encourages you to start juicing! You’ll see a huge difference in how you feel <em>and</em> look!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I’ve shared with you my new natural hair & health journey for this year…Let's continue the conversation and sharing experiences…</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let's begin with topic of a healthy diet because it dictates the appearance of your hair and skin! If the inside of your body is healthy, then the outside will be as well! When you put junk food, sweets, soda, and other processed foods into your body, then your digestive system has to work super hard to get rid of it because our bodies were not made to digest it. Since it has to work so hard, it wastes tons of energy and then it doesn’t have any energy left to cater to your beauty needs such as your hair and skin. Then, your body tries to store it in forms of fat, and tries to get rid of the toxins in the form of acne and other ways. It also doesn’t have any energy to take care of your hair and make it long, thick, and healthy. Makes too much sense right!? When I discovered this–it changed my wholeee view on eating! It really made me think twice everytime I went to reach for that sugary donut or cheesy pizza. Food is soo powerful! It can either be healing and super beneficial, or it can literally be deadly. So I decided to take control of my health and turn it around! Now, I admit I had been on that path before when I lived in New York, I felt light, energized, happy, and it showed! Having moved to PAP, Haiti I did stall the first two years and now this was not an easy transition at all. And I must emphasize–a transition,meaning this didn’t happen overnight. It took time. I started changing my eating habits about a year ago, and I am <em>still</em> changing them. That is why it is a journey!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Below are a few of the small steps I made to change my health:</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">
<ol style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 35px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I came upon this path by simply<strong><del> cutting</del> out soda</strong> and switching to juice! Juice in cartons are still bad for you–so I mean literally natural juices that are homemade which is bountiful in Haiti! However switching to juice helped me to eventually switch to strictly drinking water, and tons of it. The average person should drink at least half of your body weight in ounces. So since I weigh 120 pounds, I need to drink at least 60 ounces of water each day. Just by doing this you will see a hugeee difference in your hair and skin! It will help your hair to grow and it’ll make your skin glowy and clearer.</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strong>Stopped eating fast food</strong>. This is a big one. Fast food is not even real food. It is processed so much that our bodies don’t even realize it and they can barely digest it. In Haiti, the equivalent to American fast food is FRITAY! Its like poison to your body. So, try to at least eat it less, and if possible to stop completely. I haven’t had fast food in about 3 years now. I don’t even like it anymore! (Except McDonalds french fries-I stumbled on my path a month ago. Hoy!) Lol I’m not going to lie I enjoyed every last bite of it–but I regretted it later when I had a stomach ache and I was exhausted after. Sticking with whole, healthy foods is so much better and you really FEEL the difference!</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I <strong>started drinking.</strong> This was by far the most influential change for me. I was deprived of vegetables and I didn’t even realize it. The smoothie helped me get a weeks worth of vegetables in one serving! My skin started to glow and I had so much more energy. It also made me crave more healthy foods.</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strong>I stopped eating pork and beef</strong>. This wasn’t too hard–except for missing <strong>bacon & griot. </strong>Ahhhh I love bacon, lol. But thank God for turkey bacon which I like even more now. Pork and beef in general are the worst tons of meet.They have loads of fat and they clog your arteries. So now I stick to turkey and chicken (for those who are not allergic to seafood like me, recommend fish). Also if you want to lose weight, cutting out pork and beef will definitely help you to do so. I wasn’t trying to but I still lost a lot from this change in my diet.</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strong>Ate less fried and processed foods</strong>. I really try to cut down these. Pretty much everyone knows that they are terrible for you–yet we love them, I know. But you should try to bake or grill instead of frying, and choose whole, fresh foods instead of processed ones.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So those are most of the changes I’ve made, and every day is an opportunity to make healthier decisions. Now does this all mean I never cheat or pig out sometimes? As I said, definitely not especially a foodie and winey (wine lover) like me! But if you cheat once in awhile that doesn’t mean you’re not healthy. Its about balance. 90% of the groceries I buy are vegetables and grains from the farmers market. My groceries never include dairy (unless its goat cheese which is a lot better for you), meat (only chicken) or processed foods. So most of the time I am making healthy decisions, and that is what matters the most–what you are doing MOST of the time. It is about a LIFESTYLE change and not just dieting! You can start your journey <strong>today </strong>by taking baby steps that can cause <strong>big </strong>changes and be on your way to being healthy inside and out!</span></div>

That being said, it was time to go back to my good old healthy self from head to toe… I decided to start eating healthy again gravitate back to all my organic favorite recipes and ingredients…And also grow my hair back natural, NO perm NO processing…So off we go!</span></span><div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">To begin with one of the healthy habits I always wanted to inherit was juicing…making and drinking natural, organic smoothies with all the vitamins I felt was missing in my diet…I am beginning to absolutely loveeee my green smoothie! I can’t go a day without it! It is full of vitamins and minerals including fiber, amino acids, iron, and so much more. </span></span></span></div>
<div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Living both in New York and Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in both countries most American’s and Haitian's don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, so this smoothie makes sure you get your daily dosage! This smoothie has made my skin clearer and glowy, my hair longer and healthier, and it has given me more energy! I am still a coffee drinker (bad to some, I know) but I am not nearly as dependent on it as I used to be because of this smoothie! I’ve replaced coffee with smoothies and most importantly with MEL'ANGE NATURAL HERBAL TEAS (</span></span>https://www.facebook.com/melangearome01) a real game changer for me<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"> and now I only drink coffee once in awhile. Also! The green smoothie has encouraged me to change other areas of my diet and jumpstart my health journey. Your body craves what you put in–so if you eat healthy foods, you’ll desire it.</span></span></div>

<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 Big Handful of Spinach</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 Squeezed Lemon</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1/2 Avocado</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 1/2 Cups Coconut Water</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 Tbsp Chia Seeds (optional, not available in PAP)</span></li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Organice Hemp Protien Powder (optional, not available in PAP)</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 1:</span></strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finely chop the celery as small as you can. The smaller the better the texture, especially if your blender isn’t very strong.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 2:</span></strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Combine chopped celery, spinach, squeezed lemon, chia seeds, and coconut water and blend low to high for 2 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<em><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Blending from low to high and blending the vegetables first is very important because it makes it very smooth.</span></em></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 3:</span></strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Peel, core and chop the apple and pear. They are softer so they don’t have to be chopped as small.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 4: </span></strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Combine the apple, pear, avocado, bananas, and if your prefer–hemp protein powder and blend from low to high for another 2 mins.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<em><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hemp protein powder has a strong taste and takes away the fruitiness of your smoothie. Its still yummy, but it just depends on your preference. However, hemp protein powder is a super healthy, vegetarian form of protein. One serving contains 9 grams! It is the most digestible protein–even more easily digestible than whey protein! It also is a great source of iron, fiber, and essential fatty acids such as Omega 3 and Omega 6.</span></em></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So there you have it! My Journey to Natural Healthy New Start begins. I hope you try it and love it as much as I do!</span></div>

<br />
I have been looking for my little piece of peace. A corner for myself where I can unwind and draw inspiration... I found a bite... or two of HEAVEN with MEL'ANGE a natural product company in Haiti that makes handmade organic products... upon arriving inside the store itself... I feel CALM... at HOME. That's just what this family owned mother and daughter shop is. I share a piece of my two favorite PEACE OF MIND:<br />

The following is the transcript of the Commencement Speech at Stanford University given by Steve Jobs (may is soul rest in PEACE):<br />
<br />
" Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.<br />
Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots.<br />
I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.<br />
This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naïvely chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.<br />
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example.<br />
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.<br />
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.<br />
If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.<br />
Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.<br />
My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, and then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so, things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me. I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.<br />
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.<br />
In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.<br />
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.<br />
My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.<br />
About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.<br />
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.<br />
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.<br />
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. I was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the The Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-Seventies and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. "Stay hungry, stay foolish." And I have always wished that for myself, and now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay hungry, stay foolish.<br />
Thank you all, very much."<br />
<br />
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish and may your heart be your guide all the way!<br />
<br />
With Love,<br />
