intr.v. manifestoed, manifestoing, manifestoes

To issue such a declaration.

Thank you for joining me in a walk along my garden’s path.

Along the garden of life, there's A path that presents a collection of core values, thoughts and aspirations.

Above all else, I value your humanity;

I think that ideas are meant to be shared, not owned;

AND I aspire to be your coach and help you get the life that you deserve.

Have neither

too much

nor too little,

for neither extreme is healthy.

STEP 1:

I SEEK BALANCE

Every human body yearns for and thrives in a state of inner balance, inner peace. This feeling of serenity provides a reference point; it increases our awareness of, and decreases our tolerance for, the imbalances we normally experience

I’ll tell you my story,

and you’ll tell me yours.

Through the power of story-telling we will connect and understand each other.

STEP 2:

I YEARN FOR

CONNECTION

I seek not perfection

but aim instead for excellence.

Such is the price we must all pay for a fully engaged life.

STEP 3:

I SETTLE FOR

EXCELLENCE

The descent to hell is littered with good intentions, whilst the path to heaven is paved with good actions.

Always give before you receiveand you will find heaven on earth.
