Life in the Fast Lane

These past few years of my life have been dedicated in launching my new site with enhanced features for an interactive viewing experience. One of the features of my new site is a membership section for all my fans. Having the desire to give back to worthy causes, the layer underneath the website has been a rigorous task for me. The amount of time I've spent doing market research to make sure the profits I make from my website will go towards helping people has been a journey in itself that has taken me all the way back to my roots of Southeast Asia.

As the countdown begins for the summer release of SunisaKim.com v2.0, I am truly excited to finally be launching my site and thank you to all my loyal fans that have encouraged me throughout the process. As I sit here working on my column for Carbon8 and debating what topic to cover, I have come to the conclusion that I want to focus my thoughts on my "life in the fast lane".

What does that mean exactly? Well, living in the fast lane for me has been a roller coaster ride. Some months I'm so swamped with work that it's like hitting 120 mph on an open highway as life passes you by in the blink of an eye. Then all of a sudden, I hit a speed bump that slows me down and puts me in a rut. I'm sure you've been there at some point in your life too.

The ride called life has its high's and low's for sure. Having to "party" for a living (hehe!!), makes it much more difficult to stay away from the bad things in life that will eventually catch up with you. For me, clubbing was what I did on weekdays and every weekend to meet new people, make new friends and network. But after working in this industry for a number of years now, I have learned sometimes that style of life is not all it's cracked up to be.

These past years have taught me to stay focused on what's really important to me while my feet are still planted here on Mother Earth's soil. I have matured enough to realize that family, good health, identifying my real homies and how I can make the world a better place is key to finding my inner peace. Now during my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, eating healthy, exercising consistently and on occasion partying to let loose (haha!). But now more than ever, I actively do things to contribute to making this world a better place.

With my quest to raise money through donations on my new site, I will be able to help various causes and organizations. Donations will provide relief funds to assist in eliminating; landmines, poverty, disease and child abuse in places less fortunate than the US. This mission has given me new purpose to live out my life in a new kind of fast lane. I can't wait for you to see what I have in store!

So as you read this, reflect on your own life and what accomplishments you have achieved so far. Maybe even think about what you can do or what steps you can take to help others and make your mark too!
