As a male model, design professional and Buddhist, I have a unique perspective on the dreams and realities of aspiring stars. I want to help you achieve all of your aspirations. Here’s a primer on how I live my life, and how you too might find eternal happiness!

1) We become our best selves when pursuing a goal that allows us to fully develop and make use of our uniqueness… so first and foremost, be true to yourself because at the end of the day, that’s all we have!

2) Awaken to, and believe in, the power of your own life, and take responsibility in making our world a better place as a Global Citizen, aware of the diverse beauty that surrounds us.

3) Believe anything is possible and don’t let anyone put limits on you as you discover and fulfill your special mission in life.

4) Define your worth not by what others think of you, but by the value you create in your life day to day.

5) Attaining happiness is the ultimate purpose of life, so look for it, and feel it inside as you build it for yourself.

6) Remember your life is most precious and noble, and you need not envy anyone or anything.

7) “Live Life In Full Color!” and use it to empower your space and your body… black is so predictable.

Embrace the obstacles and challenges you face in life, for they build your confidence and character.

9) “Eat fear for breakfast as you strive constantly to polish your diamond-like life!”

10) Embrace difference, realize the value of all life, and that each and every one of us is precious and contributes to the beautiful tapestry of our world.

11) “Let fashion embellish your greatness and not be armor to cover your insecurities!”

12) Always remember to repay your debt of gratitude to those who help you along the way… especially your mother and father.

13) “When it comes to fashion, use it to define your individuality and not to homogenize your existence.”

14) To live your best life, live it with the courage born of conviction and love for humanity and you will find that your compassion for others actually grows deeper.

15) Embrace yourself completely and then refine those areas you choose to tweak!

16) When it comes to your body, you only get one… take care of it now so you can continue to enjoy it, and have it work for you fiercely later!

17) “The essential ingredient to a tasty dish called ‘Your Life’ is Humor!”

18) Be kind to your planet because your planet has been kind to you, and expand throughout society that absolute, fundamental consideration, that profound compassion toward life.

19) Always have a Mentor in life to inspire you to be more than you ever dreamed of being!

20) Beat your own record in life each day and truly live victoriously!

I love you all and I wish you all the best in your lives!
