My Top 25 Interests

Branched from @JamesAltucher's post about Warren Buffet's 5/25 rule.

1. My Own Yoga

I don't mean lycra pants yoga. And I don't want to say "authentic yoga" because that sounds pretentious.

I mean my own system of stretches, breathing exercises, and meditations that I've been cultivating and developing for over five years. I do them every day, no exceptions. This is my own yoga.

More than anything else, it's what brings me balance and bliss.

2. Teaching

I want to teach everything I learn. Everything. I don't even have to be very good. If I'm two steps ahead of someone else, I want to teach them what I know. I want them to learn faster than I did.

I love teaching.

3. Wealth Creation

I'm going to cheat here and lump entrepreneurship, personal finance, and investing into one category.

This is my weak spot. I manage my own money well and I invest safely, but my entrepreneurial skills have been embarrassing. I need a mentor.

4. Creative Collaborations

I cheated again. I love writing, music, and animation. In that order.

But I don't love any of them as much as I love the process of working with someone creatively. I love bouncing ideas back and forth. I love digging deeper to find out what their soul is trying to say.

I'd quit creating solo art before I'd quit collaborating.

5. Tantrik Sex

I debated if I should put this here, but I have to be honest.

If I TRULY had to devote my life to the top 5 and ignore the bottom 20, this would be in the top five for sure.

Sex is popular for a reason. It feels good.

It feels so good that people forget that it can be even better. Sex can -- and should -- be a gateway to the divine.

Meditation is contact with the divine in its most receptive form. Sex is contact with the divine in its most dynamic form.
