As I set out on this writer’s journey, it feels important to establish some guiding principles for my blog posts. These are the stars I will use to navigate my way forward:

  • All of us are capable of growing and learning, at every stage of life.
  • Failure is almost always just another (terrible) synonym for learning.
  • Let curiosity lead. Leave no interesting stone unturned.
  • Let doubt protect. Dogma is the death of the creativity.
  • There is wisdom in ancient traditions, but blind faith is crippling.
  • Thoughtful questions often matter more than definitive answers.
  • The differences that divide us might actually hold the keys we need to understand the way ahead.

There. That feels like a good start. How about you? Anything to add?
