Daily Challenge Member Spotlight: Meet Aaron R.


I joined Daily Challenge because… I wanted to have something that "needed" to be completed each day. Something to get me going for the day like a psychological breakfast. It was only later that I discovered the joys of having connections and getting support from people all over the country.

My dream vacation is… at the moment, a long trip traveling through Europe, though Hawaii and Australia are next on the list.

If I could go back and say one thing to my teenage self, it would be stay active/exercise (even if you don't think you need it)

To me well-being means... that I am balanced in mind, body and Spirit; that every day I wake up with aspirations and the energy to accomplish my goals. Well-being means that even if something unwanted or unsavory happens in life, I am able to continue with any commitments (social or otherwise) I've made with minimal detriment to my emotional state.

 On the weekends I like to… Depending on the weather, a walk around the city, a trip to a museum, a drink at a local pub or a movie are all possibilities. Then there are the activities in which I partake which are not the usual for most people such as FireWalking and Arrow-breaking.

My proudest moment was … auditioning (for Harold Prince and about 15 other Tony award winners to play the lead in a Broadway show at 17 years old.

I am inspired by… Courage, Creativity and a positive attitude.

Favorite Song: my two favorite classical pieces are L'après-midi d'un faune by Debussy and the original piano version of "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky

 
My favorite thing about Daily Challenge is… the challenges themselves, although I am greatly enjoying being inspired and inspiring others.
