What Do You Stand For?

I am Russian-born, American by choice, and Galactic by essence.

How do you manage to tell your life story in a few minutes? Maybe if I share what life has taught me in the last 41 years will help someone see into my journey.

Life has taught me the power of conviction, the innocence of trust, and the beauty of having a very compelling vision.

“What do you stand for?" I like to ask someone when I meet them first.

"What do you live for? What would you die for?"

I take a stand for mastery because mastery will always be in demand. Mastery recognizes mastery. Mastery is loving your craft to the point of obsession. It is a desire to become so good at what you do, it is impossible for people to forget you.

I stand for creativity. I stand for the power of choice to create with what you got right NOW and take a creative initiative toward your dreams. To not postpone your life because someday you feel more ready, or prepared. The time is now. Today is what we have. Create, don’t wait.

I stand for wisdom. To walk the path of wisdom, to learn from your life’s experiences, to cultivate an open heart and trusting relationship with life. To teach what you embody because you desire to share what you learn with others; to pass on the torch to others who may be looking for the light.
