Teaching in Cambodia was the best experience of my life. I went there not only to help others, but also to help myself. The world can be cruel, and it's easy to get caught up in the bitterness. It's much harder to walk gently. Cambodians do this with grace. Living with them solidified many things which I already knew. I hope I can carry these truths and demonstrate them more in my own life.
- Be kind and compassionate.
- Helping others helps yourself.
- Live in the moment.
- Don't worry about the future.
- You can't change the past, but you can only learn from it.
- Live simply.
- Find balance.
- Money does not create happiness.
- Celebrate the small things: an afternoon rain, a butterfly, a hug, sharing a mango with a friend...
- Trust your inner voice.
- Take risks.
- Do things others won't.
Now, it's time for me to move on. I'm not sure what adventures lie ahead, but like a grain of sand, I will move with the ebb and flow of the tide and let the waters decide where I'll land next.
Beautifully said, Kerri.
