Moving Out

"The path only illuminates if you walk it."

You don't need to have everything figured out. You just need to get moving.

When I was 16, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. 

I drifted for years. 

Happy go lucky. 

But directionless. 

Then I moved to California. 

Biola completely changed me. 

It gave direction to my entire life. 

The person I wanted to become was getting closer and closer. 

Was it scary? A whole lot! I missed Hawaii terribly. Being away from the islands only made me appreciate them more. 

But in California, I no longer felt stuck. 

The whole world seemed to open up for me -- Germany, Switzerland, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria, France, England, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Egypt, Korea, India, China, Ethiopia, Mexico, Canada.

If you're sitting in your hometown feeling stuck, just know that it's possible for everyone, even a beach bum from Hawaii, to find his way. 

There's no better feeling.
