1. When and Why Did You Decide to Pursue This Dive At This Level? What was your inspiration and motivation?
Awardco are points I get through my current employer, and each point is worth $1. I've been donating my Awardco to a Pet Sanctuary.
My other options to use these points to buy merch, exchange for a virtual debit card or a Gift Card. But every time I earn 5 points on a sale, I donate my points to "A Little R&R Animal Sanctuary Inc."
I also have been donating my change to homeless shelters and other animal sanctuaries...
I started the practice.... Maybe 10 years ago when I was reading about Roman Philosophy and Buddism:
- Learn to live under your means, be thankful for what you have.
- Embrace the suffering so the pleasure feels that much better.
- End your own suffering by detaching from the things you want.
- And give away that what you want most so that it will return ten folds.

7. Tell Us A Story Of One Of Your Adventures While Pursuing This Dive (At This Level).
So, I figure it's an early investment in the case things go really, really, really bad...
Plus, in the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness," Will Smith was living in a homeless shelter.
We all have to have a dream and a big motivation for me is know how far down the dream can lead you...
And know there is a way back up.
